If I hear "what have you been doing lately?" one more time I am going to scream! What do they think I do? All I do is get up, get the myself and children ready, drop them at school/kinder/cc, work, then do the pick up, then half the week take them to activities, go home, cook dinner and collapse.
Hehe this made me chuckle coz I totally get it. My answer is 'surviving' and some just look confused.

I'm venting too. Works annoying me. I'm bored and being micromanaged But I don't feel 'productive' still even after being micromanaged. DH used to work from home a lot but now have to go work in the office. So that means DD is in childcare until we can go get her unlike previously DH can just go at 5 on the dot. Now she gets picked up nearly 6. So we thought let's see if we can one of us goes in early and the other normal so one can come back early. It has to be me for early so I can sort out her dinner etc. but work with all their 'oh u have flexible work hours' have decided that 7am start won't work for them. That earliest is 8 which would mean a 4pm finish with 1/2hr lunch. For what I do, it's actually more productive when there's no interruption for a few hours so I can get some work done and then when everyone else rocks up I can do other parts. No. So I've decided to look around for something else. Not sure how its gonna go but gonna give it a try anyways. Sorry for long rant.
