As I sit on hold with the insurance company trying to figure out where $1500 dollars went that I should get reimbursed for from my FSA account I remember what my sweet husband said to me yesterday. "You have a job. You are not a housewife. You are CFO of our company, Benefits plan coordinator....." It's true, I spend hours doing QuickBooks, handling expenses, taxes, medical and that doesn't include the laundry LOL! I carve out time for exercise so I can be healthy when I am blessed with grandchildren. And I play with you Cuties and my sewing machine whenever I can. I have to remind myself that I have worth : ) I hope you all feel worthy too!

My husband made comment a long time ago.
"I know your job and I don't want it".
And have you noticed that our job is 24 hours. Thanks sewmom to remind us that were are not JUST housewives.

Amen to that sister hugs:):)

You have worth in so many ways. As a wife, as a mother, as a Cutie and the list goes on. And that list with few changes fits each and every one of us. And I am glad that you reminded me of this.

Each year on mother's day, salary.com calculates the monetary worth of a mother.....take a look if you dare. ;)

I will!

Have you ever see the "What is Mother worth?" essay?/ Very nice, listing everything we do/have done with a monetary value which ,of course, adds up to thousands but ends with something like what more valuable job could you have than raising a compassionate, kind responsible,etc. citizen who thinks you are priceless. I don't have the source here at the cottage but think it was somehting for one Mother's day (a year I needed it!!).

Good for you! They say the devil is in the details and I really believe that when I've done too much paperwork or being on hold. Hope you got sewing time after all that.
