The working moms and dads will know what I mean

Here's to those of us who have t0 leave for work before the sun is up in the sky and don't get home until it is well and fully set.

Here's to faking it with our kids when the stresses of work follow us home. As in, "What's that? Mommy's really happy! She's not looking at her blackberry!"

Here's to tall laundry piles and aggressive dust bunnies.

Here's to the pediatrician who actually offers 7 pm appointments.

Here's to feeling guilty for not being home with the kids when they are little.

So, just for tonight, I'm throwing in the towel.

I'm off to wallow in self pity.

I will count my blessings in the morning.
