Who has properly ordered priorities?
Me: dutifully attended weekly meeting with CFO and reported on current state of affairs in grants management; worked with consultant on finalizing a custom database and reports; ate a hurried lunch at the diner (comfort food!) and felt all the while as if I were playing hooky from my desk; met with another consultant to work out bugs in new web tool; recreated our compliance forms in web format; turned off my computer, and headed home.
Dh: Took Logan to school; played with the little ones; picked Logan up and went to the beach, where Dylan ran around naked all afternooon, Logan played Lion King over and over again on the rocks, and Daphne marveled at the dolphins playing in the surf.
I write. A lot.
I also design stuff and collect funny things kids say. Oh, and please buy my book. It's very funny.
I also review books and keep track of them in The Mommy Blog Amazon Book Store.

My son was in the same room as me when I was getting dressed one day. I scratched the top of my left breast a little and he said, “Mommy, you are touching your —-!”
I said to him, “I just have an itch,” to which he responded, “That’s *your* excuse!”

Jax: Mommy, here’s a little piece of toilet paper to wipe the tip.
Mommy: The tip of what?
Jax: Your penis.

After being told to go outside and pick up the dog poop, he goes outside, whines and complains. He comes back in and says, “Mom, I think the dog over-pooped.”

When I woke up one morning with a sore throat, raspy voice, and fever, my three-year-old, Emilie, asked me what was wrong. I said, “Mama has a cold…” and she felt my cheek for a minute before saying, “No. You has a hot!”

Do you know how I memorized 2 x 11? I have this fake pencil in my brain, and it writes down the multiplication!!

I don’t exactly know if this is your situation or not, but I have more female friends who are the bread-winners in their household than the reverse. Their husbands/companions provide the balance at home quite nicely (at least from my little perch). I don’t think it is unfair for empowered women to put their nose to the grindstone, but then again, I would still rather be at the beach!
