supermom, i am not

i am working 40 hrs a week now and my tearful 4 year old is in daycare. the house is worse than ever and we are eating takeout and vending machine food all the time. it's every bit as bad as i thought it would be and sometimes even worse. but i am a real person again, and i like it. maybe my quirky kids will become axe murderers now that i can't smother them with attention and advice learned from new age child-rearing books. it's the good old school of hard knocks, just like the one that i went to. (well, maybe it is a little cushier than my hard knocks school)
