The Busy Schedule

It's funny to me how much a mamma can get done in a day compared to some daddy's. I work a full time high pressure high stress job- from 8-430 my commute is 45 min each way so I tend to leave by 7am and not return before 600 or so. Then I work my business, feed the kids, play with the kids, do the laundry, clean up the house and take care of our pool and garden.

My hubby can't even get his own school work done in the same day he has the kids and works- he has to turn things in late etc because "He just can't find the time". It makes me wonder how he makes it in the real world.

The plus side of this though- I am like the perfect employee as I can multitask like no other. Last week I was training 3 new employees, still working towards my quotas, processing other policies, etc. It was a challenge too but like motherhood if I didn't get it done who would?

My husband has it very easy- I keep everything in the house in order (physically but also bills, doc appts etc). When I get sick or anything its a standstill so my new mission is going to be to delegate more to him. He spends his days watching tv, playing games, or playing with the boys- not much else on a regular basis. BUT my husband isn't lazy if I ask him to do anything he will do it without complaint, I tend to think its easier to just do it versus asking.
