For hire...

It's not that I don't want to work.  It's just that I feel I might be especially unsuited for it.  I seem to have no real marketable skill set.  I'm a great mom - I'm happy to keep a clean house, run errands, do homework with the kids, make cookies, kiss boo-boos, etc.  Those skills don't really seem to translate to the working world.

I am currently employed in a job that would probably be better served by someone who is more detail oriented.  In my mom job, I bake by approximation.  "Close enough" is a real thing.  My job would be better suited to someone who likes being alone.  I'm in the middle of everything at home.  When I was studying for my Master's Degree I would sit in the middle of the den and read my books.  It would drive my husband crazy since he needs quiet to study.  My extrovert roots clearly show.  The non-mom job would work for someone who doesn't want to change the world.  As a mom, I'm trying to shape my kids to be good citizens of the world.  Nobody's life was ever changed because they bought a tent.

Now, before you say maybe I should go into the childcare field, I'm a great mom.  I don't have patience for other people's kids.  Unless I love them - you know who you are if you're reading this!

Plus I really like doing this...
So, I need a job - that allows me to be a mom, and wife full-time.  And lets me go to the beach whenever I want.  Let me know if you find someone hiring!
