I have two full-time jobs.
One of them requires me to work 40 hours a week. The other requires me to work 168+ hours a week.
One of them pays me in dollars for my time and expenses. The other one pays me in smiles and laughter and includes thousands of dollars a year of expenses that are not reimbursable.
One of them offers benefits such as medical and life insurances. The other offers benefits such as hugs, kisses, and "I love you's".
I get "paid time off" for one of them. There are no sick or 'vacation' days from the other.
I have two full-time jobs.
At one of them, my title is "GIS Analyst". At the other, my title and name is "Mommy".
Being a GIS Analyst - is what I do for a living. Being a Mommy - is who I am.

Very nice, Deb. Isn't it amazing how motherhood changes your self image?
I remember when I first became a mother one of the things that hit me the hardest, aside from the fact that these were the hardest, longest days I'd ever worked, was that I'd never get a vacation.
Thanks for participating!

Your post was great! I could really use a sick day right now from my mommy job but as you said there are no sick days. Oh well! I still love being a mom.
Us moms wear a lot of hats, don't we?
