Too busy to work?

There is a pre-k teachers assistant position open next year at the school. It's for Sydney's class. I am considering applying for it. I feel like if Sydney is at school, then what will I do? But as my husband pointed out, there is plenty to do. Here is my to do list as of right now.

*I need to go and fax my ID to the place to get Syds birth certificate because I have to have in for pre-k enrollment.
^I need to go to the bank and make deposits. Thanks to my outstanding academic achievements the state of Oklahoma has rewarded me with free money! And I got some cashola for my birthday.
*I need to go to the grocery store so bad, we have nothing in the house and we're even out of toiletries, I can't find the list it took me an hour to make last night.
*I have a quiz due by noon tomorrow in personality theories, a class that is busting my balls big time, and I have midterms next week. If I don't pull at least a B out of my developmental psych midterm I can kiss my 4.0 goodbye.
*I need to send in my information for the honor society membership that I finally got my invitation to.
*I need to go and sign the kids up for soccer and t-ball and get a hold of this other dad to co-coach with Bob.
*I need to go and get my oil changed and my get new tires on my van.
*I need to take some things back to the mall and go to the book store.
*And I desperately need to go and get a pedicure before I scuff the floors with my nasty ass crusty heels. I also need a nail fill.
*I need to color my hair because it is seriously at this point full on gray.
*I was suppose to be doing PTO popcorn sales today. I missed the volunteer reading program this week, and they have called me to sub 3 times this week.
*I missed my GG's birthday so I need to go and get her a gift or some flowers and a card and go and see her.
&I also need to run and check in on Bob's uncle at the nursing home.
^I'm helping my sister, the nurse, remodel her house. I'm getting together lits of contractors and pricing for her to. She's clueless and she works wonky overnight hours. (I'm very excited about this project because it takes my mind off of the fact that my house hasn't been shown once since it went on the market almost 2 weeks ago)

Yet here I am, laying on the couch, watching Twister with Sydney and Samuel wishing I could snap my fingers and be showered and ready to go. My back still hurts, but it's better. I think that if I could get out and walk around it might loosen up a little bit. But they put me on bed rest until next Monday, I can't do that. I'll go nuts. And I refuse to take anymore of the prescription pain meds at this point because they are making me totally worthless. I am determined to cook again tonight because my kids are sick to death of cereal, spaghetti Oh's and frozen pizza.

I'm too busy to work! Who would take care of everyone?

  1. Do you WANT to work? I think that is the question, my dear.
    I work, and do most of the things on your list. Of course, I only have one kiddo...but I'm proof that it can be done. Do I wish I didn't have to work? Indeed! But then I'd be 100 times busier than I am now. You have the most demanding job of all, and you threw in school.
    Think about whether or not YOU want to work. Then you'll have your answer.
