Blah Blah Blog

So blogging hasn't been my bag lately. I gotta give it up to those single working mothers. B has traveled a ton since school started and I am working ONLY part time, but it's enough to set myself up for disappointment as not everything gets done and the BLOG (among other things) gets put on the back burner. The thing is, I don't regret making the decision to work. I feel like this was the best thing for me, my family, and my life and I have loved my job as a principal. It has been WAY more work than I thought it would be and working through culture/language barriers can make it even dicier, but it has been a definite strengthening experience for me. I mean, who doesn't love organizing a school wide Mommy&Me Day where we get to go to "Hawaii"?? :)

The hard thing is carrying the label as "Working Mom." Doesn't EVERY mom work? I mean I am just pulling a double shift, right? Working double duty? And then the counter-argument would be, what about dads? Yes! What about Dads!?! If you are as lucky as I am to have a husband who is as supportive and helpful around the house as B is, (he even does most of the laundry!! Note: I only messed up a few loads of laundry until I was given a work-release from the laundry) then can't I say that he is a Working Dad? In this case, I would be okay with the term, "Working Mom" if and only if dads can be called, "Working Dads" because that just insinuates that being a Dad or a Mom means that they work too.

Am I being too gender equality pushy? Am I reading into it too much? My husband knows me too well. I can see him reading this and he will be all, "no way" but he will be nodding his head in his mind, I just know it. I love you too sweetie! ;)

Yet another post that will have to wait for another day... or so.
