Ahhh, musings! My feminism is practiced by doing what I feel I need to do to live my values. I've got my dukes up and if I don't have to put up a fight to get what I want, then all the better - but I'm prepared for a bunfight if someone tries to tell my it's not my place to do anything. So, when I'm qualified, I don't want to work every day. I want to work 'part time' so that I can spend time with my family and my animals. I'm definitely a work to live and not live to work, even though the work I want to end up doing will be intellectually stimulating and hopefully of value to the community. I'm lucky that I didn't have a carved career before Oscar (can't call working casually - not casual by choice, either - for a department store a 'career'!), so I haven't had to juggle the two in my head, but I feel that (I HOPE that) I would always choose family over work because good, sound values start at home. And yeah, DP would be home, but I've got things I want to teach our kids and I can't do that from an office! Ideally, I'd love to practice from home, but psychology is not the kind of field where you can work from home all the time. But flexible hours could be arranged so that I can 'have everything', so to speak.
Cee Cee said what I wanted to say last night before I got caught up in the banter (sorry, mods, it was all Bathsheba's fault!) - I think I'll be using 'skin a rabbit' with Oscar from now on, cos it's pretty cool!
No aircon here - why would we have aircon when we only have a wood heater for winter??? Nah, we live on the east side of a hill, so if I keep the blinds drawn and doors closed then it doesn't heat up too much. Being a windy day I have the door open today. Not only that, now that I'm not preggers, I can go back to enjoying hot days, yay! Geez it feels good to enjoy heat...
Listening to Joanne Leez on 774 ABC Melb - v interesting interview.
Oscar asleep...on the bed...so I'm going to wax the other leg now (waxed the other one two days ago!)...
