Two parents working can be kinda stressful, IMO, and stress is bad. I feel stressed sometimes just working part-time, and I don't even have a kid! Go forth and dance with your baby! And blog about it! :-)Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13432497142155757992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32535107.post-45075245850563687112011-07-05T09:34:33.452-06:002011-07-05T09:34:33.452-06:00Oh yay!

I'm coming to grips with the fact that I just can't get as much done in the day as normal people. I'm o.k. with that, I'm just realizing that I'd rather get less done but do it well (you know, parenting) than try and do more and be miserable and only mediocre at whatever I'm doing.Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16035701496463445440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32535107.post-85164566538604639602011-07-02T08:30:02.046-06:002011-07-02T08:30:02.046-06:00Any chance of part time work?
