It just came to me…..the name change. You see, here lately I have been joking with Jeff about how I don’t have anything to do being that I’m just a stay at home mom. I am just so bored and don’t know what to do with myself since I don’t have a real job. My days are long and lonely and it is just so exciting to get to go to the grocery store once a week. When people ask what I do with all this free time I have I just tell them that I eat bonbons and watch Soap Operas.
It’s a joke that my husband and I so love! We know the truth. I really do have a job as a Systems Operator/Management Specialist Level 3 of a local non-profit group. It is a very demanding job that is more than a regular 40 hour a week job. In order to do my job you have to be proficient in many fields and continue your education annually.
What gets me the most is that just because I am not on payroll I’m considered to not have a real job. I have recently been thought of someone who needs extra activities to keep my mind busy. I accepted a volunteer job in photography. I told someone about it and that person wanted to know if I would like to borrow their camera. I think if I was more of a bragger people would know all that I have done and can do, but I’m not a bragger. Because I don’t go around sharing with others all of the talents that I have taught myself over the years doesn’t mean that I do not have these talents.
So I will be compiling a work of all of the things that I have done over the years. I will be working hard to sell myself to be awarded credit for the things I have done in my life so far. I am hoping that the people who review this work will find value in my work. I will be bragging but only to earn the credit I believe that I deserve. We will see what happens.
Yes, I feel a bit bitter over the fact that working people do not value the work of those people who do not get paid for what they do. I’m happy to know that my Heavenly Father sees it all and knows the motives of my heart.
