如果

如果你问一个正被身心疾病折磨着的孩子的母亲这样一个问题,你想不想用你成功的事业来换取你孩子一生的健康和幸福。我相信没有一个母亲会说'不想 '

如果你问一个'表面上健康'的孩子的母亲同样的问题,她也许会反问,我的孩子没什么问题,我的事业如日中天,为什么,我要做这样的交换?

如果你问一个很优秀的孩子的母亲同样的问题,她可能会说,人人都羡慕我有这样好的事业,如此棒的孩子,我根本就没必要做这样的交换。

大家都会觉得,第一类母亲有伟大的母爱,而第二类的母亲的回答也合理。你跟本就不应该问第三类母亲这样的问题。

我倒觉得,第一类母亲做啥都晚了点,倒是第二类的母亲最应该考虑这个问题,很可惜第三类的母亲,要等再过些年才能理解你的问题,但她们对此问题考虑与否的机会成本最高。

谈到机会成本, 不免想到要做一个项目, 你要想获得最大效益, 不但要高投入, 还得勇于承担风险. 做母亲, 实际上就是在做一个项目. 唯一不同的是, 母亲的收益不在孩子成材的最后结果, 而是在育子整个过程的享受. 多数人喜欢读哈佛女孩妈妈写的成功经验, 实际上每一个享受养育孩子过程的妈妈都可以写出更加动人的书来.

随着现代职场中女性日渐增强的竞争优势,现如今,中国的母亲们已经很难跳出功利的圈子了。高位高薪的光彩事业越来越吸引着具有高学历和高天赋的母亲们。敦敦小时候,总说我跟别的全职妈妈不同,但又说不出怎样个不同,实际上我知道,十几年职场拼打下来,母亲们自然缺少点女人味,敏感的孩子很容易体会得到这细微的差别。妈妈太有性格了,说话大嗓门,办事风头火脑,不及别的妈妈年轻漂亮, 也不如别的妈妈温柔体贴,敦敦会从我检查督促功课的眼光中读到我工作压力下的焦虑和困惑。

敦敦上康乐园时, 每次开学日和学期的最后一天我都会赶到学校, 加上义卖会和圣诞汇演我一般只在学校出现4. 和每天早上出现在校门口的全职妈妈们相比, 我总是感觉有些不自然. 她们一见我就拿我打趣道: ', 我们的职业女性来了.' 说实在的, 这当儿, 我会显得很惭愧和尴尬.

我曾跟在宝马山住的一位年轻的妈妈聊天, 聊着, 聊着, 她对我说, 我从前有很好的一份工, 但我的孩子更重要, 为了亲自带好他们, 我辞了工. 简单几句话语没啥警句名言, , 不失大义凌然之气概, 对我来说很震撼.

孩子是否比工作更重要? 是中国的母亲们在未来十年,二十年应该认真加以思考的严肃问题. 一个民族的进步是从母亲们的思考开始的.

I hate drama! Yet it seems to be all around me lately; directly and indirectly. I can not wait until I get out of here for a while; need the change of pace. R.I.P. "Slice".

WEll, what long week it has been! I've really not felt well all week and I've been extra tired! If I didn't know better I'd think I was preggo because I am so tired! I need to get rested up and I don't see that happening anytime soon. I do know I have been staying up way to late the past few night!
Tomorrow, (sat)I am going to Casper for a Bodyshop training with Peggy! The boys are going to spend the morning with coworker/friend and then babysitter will pick them up from her house and walk them home and stay with them until I get home around 7pm.
The landscapers came and laid down edging and weedmats all along the back fence. IT looks good but it isn't finished! I have to finish the rest! I was trying to save some $ but now wonder if I should have just had them do it! AGH! oh well, I should be able to get it done the weekend after memorial day! Memoral day weekend we are going to Keyhole with the new camper, which I still haven't got ready yet!
I know we will stop by the cemetary in Moorcroft to visit "daddy" and leave him some flowers and a neat heartshaped stone I bought for him. It is pretty neat, it has 3 little hearts ingraved on it for (us) and the biggest heart is cut out (missing) Jett said that was Daddy because he was gone! that was pretty neat!

Today was meant to be a good day, but it really was a bad day...the reason why is because...
Mr.Perkin's first period class was good cause all we did was sit down and talk about each other, and listen to Mr.Perkins talk. But in second period...I went in, adn seen the binders in crates on the floor, and being a good student I went head on and tried to find my binder to start preparing my portfolio. But when I started to look I didn't see it, and I realized it wasn't in there. So, I went to Mrs.Bell/Johnson room to ask her and she said that somebody preobably had stole it...so now I'm mad. She was gone give me my points because I had all the necessary work plus more...so now I have to go to Fred's dollar store and buy a new binder, and go home and get some more sleeves. So now anybody who messes with me until I calm down is going to get that attitude that nobody wants to see, cause when I get mad, I act just like I'ma mad hit man mad at the world and anybody who says something to me...is going to get hit...

5/18/07-Woke up at normal time. Ate all three meals well. Highlights included playing in body sock (pretended to be a catapillar turning into a butterfly), heavy work (helping me vacuum and carried heavy floor pillows around the house), and did some tummy time (puzzles). Had lunch outside and played for about an hour. Did some coloring for table time and played with legos (made a house, a train and a robot). Pretended to "shave' at bathtime. Bed at normal time, fell asleep within 5 minutes.
