Work

Back to work again today; being a Thursday it's my "Monday." Juggling work and baby is as hard as everybody says it is. There's no break, 'cause you are always on. A friend who is a stay-at-home dad gets a break now and again as his wife and him share weekends, so they can take turns getting out on their own, or at least splitting baby duties (and good thing, since they now have two kids under the age of three). But Baby Daddy and I don't have things quite so easy (oops, did I say easy? Wrong word, nothing is easy in baby land no matter how you divvy up things). We work opposite schedules with no shared time off, so there are no weekends. We chose this, of course, for the good of baby, and we have the comfort of the second paycheck to cushion our heads when they're throbbing from lack of sleep and baby wail. But I keep looking for the easy button. No wonder Circuit City went out of business, they were selling something that doesn't exist.
