Yep, RD, being a stay-at-home mom was too much stress for me, so I went \"back to work\". Or I really ought to say, I got a job that actually pays me. Being a stay-at-home mom IS work. You\'re cook, maid, laundress, dishwasher, secretary, truant officer, and worst of all, in charge of cleaning up all the nasty stuff:|~. I don\'t envy your job at all, RD!
I do like my current job, however, it\'s not stressign so much mentally as physically. I work at the local college\'s stables, (see info here
Wilson College). I get to be out doing physical labor in all kinds of weather, which means the last few weeks of temps in the 90\'s meant I\'ve been dripping with sweat before the first hour had even passed (and I start at 6:30 am).
And my job is such that people almost expect you to get hurt at some point of another. The average horse weighs about 1500 lbs and they don\'t care about my well-being. I\'ve been lucky so far in that I\'ve gotten away with only a few bruises, a twisted ankle, and rope-burned hands so far (knock on wood).
Most likely the mental stress will come when the students return at the end of this month with their horses and the count goes from about 40 that are there now to about 70. Yay, cant. wait...
