I'm working an 88-hr week schedule for my jobs. What do you think?
Frannie, I know the feeling....78 hours last week for me. PLUS.....I have two teenage sons. I keep my house clean. I cook a wonderful homemade dinner three nights a week. I grocery shop, wash clothes, pay bills, do my own hair and nails, put together an entertainment center last week (all I wanted for Christmas was a Black and Decker high powered drill!--NO ONE touches my drill!)
I've raised six children all alone. (and that means not even a dime of child support-bastard) I'm not an alcoholic, or on drugs. I don't smoke. I've been through hell. Abused physically and mentally by parents and ex-husband, raped, homeless, (with kids) hurt, used, and down to my last nickle in my pocket. Lived through shunning for 12 years by my mother. My sisters death. My aunts lung cancer and death.
But, here I am. Stronger than ever. I have a strong mind, and I know I can make it through anything.
I know what you mean, xena and dh, but I'm sorry....women may not have ALL the physical strength, but when it comes to mental stamina, multi-tasking, and the will to keep going when everyone and everything is conspiring to make you fail, I think we have the strength of the Gods.
