This is My Story, Too.

A mom should be paid over $115,000 a year based on a survey in Forbes Magazine by Salary.com in 2011.  The jobs that a stay-at-home mom performs in a 97 hour work week are summarized in the bar chart on the right. Add to that the 4 to 8 hours of sleep you may get a night, doesn’t leave a lot of personal time.  This study did not include working moms.

I was a working mom and single parent after my husband died of ALS when my oldest was in college.  Starting out, I had received a Master’s Degree in Education while beginning to raise 4 of my own. Later, I retired after 38 years as an elementary school principal/second grade/kindergarten teacher, and now, while their parents work, I keep 9 of my 10 grandkids (12 counting my 2 step grandkids) . Currently my oldest grandchild is 14 and the youngest is 8; they all love to read. Through the years of raising kids, teaching kids, and babysitting grandkids, I developed and uses some effective activities and approaches while being a parent, single parent and grandparent.

I now understand why I was so tired.(^;  But, if I made it through and raised 4 college graduates, know that you can learn and do some remarkable things that you have no idea you are capable of doing today.
