My Paycheck :)

I know that SAHM's work! I have always thought that way. Now that I am doing it myself I must admit that I am working harder now than when I worked outside the home. Labor laws gave me lunch and breaks, LOL!

Here is the breakdown of my (average) day.

630 am wake up by toddler (630 on a good day)
645       get cup of coffee, get toddler to settle down and not wake rest of house
700       make breakfast
730       feed baby
800       clean up breakfast
815        argue with toddler to get dressed
900       let toddler watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse/laundry/chores
1000     park/playtime/art (depending on the day)
1100      make lunch
1130      clean up lunch
1145       feed baby
1200      argue with toddler to take nap/rest time/chores/laundry
200pm   snack and feed baby
230        outside/playroom/special movie
430        start dinner
500        eat dinner, feed baby
530        clean kitchen again
600        baths
700        get toddler to bed (arguing again)
715        feed baby get him to bed
730        still argue with toddler to get her to sleep/camp out in hallway
1000      toddler asleep (thank God!)
1030-1100 feed baby again
11-2am sleep
2am feed baby again
3-5am sleep (until 6 if lucky)

start all over again!

ok, out of a 24 hour day I am 'working'  17 hours a day! Minimum wage for WA state is $9.04/hr

Based on a normal 40/hr work week that is 119 hours a week total! 40 hours reg pay and 79 hours overtime. So if my math is correct that would be a paycheck of $1432.84 a week! Thus $5731.36/month!!!! WOW!!!!  Just food for thought!
