Two of Me

Do you ever wish there was a double helping of you to get everything done (your way)? Twenty four hours doesn’t quite seem like enough time to accomplish at work (or home) that is on your job list.
The above complaint is commonly heard with mothers (both working outside the home and stay at home). Your house does not need to be immaculate and sparkling clean. (There will be plenty of time for that as an empty nester.) Meals do not have to be an elaborate affair, and you will not always be able to be at every school event. (Kids need love and time with you most of all.)
Give your best during an eight hour work day. Realize your limitations at only being one person. You can’t make everyone happy. Make sure your boss is the one individual that is happy with you. Strive for honesty at any cost. At the end of the day, be pleased with a job well done.
Remember, if there were two of you that would also mean double your irritating habits, quirks, as well as your own personal irritations. Would that be more than you could handle? Though it would be extremely convenient to have someone do all the stuff for you that you love to avoid doing. Live in the world of reality. Don’t dream about what will probably never happen.
