::puts idea in back pocket:: She tried to tell me later in the shower that Santa doesn’t have a computer or a phone. Nice try kid. I took a video of it but I’m not sure if I send it to you if that would be considered child porn or not. Was she bare-assed tantruming? lol |

No. Later on that night when she was showering she told me Santa doesn't have a phone or computer. I'm happy to send the video of her tantruming. |

Hello gals.
My kids haven’t napped in, now, 3 days for AV and 2 days for AB. Life is interesting. Sleep is even more interesting. My mom is here tomorrow and I’m hopeful they’ll pass out for her bc I don’t want to believe this.
I’m sitting my ass on the couch drinking apple juice and trying to will myself to get up and do any of the following:: finish decorating the Xmas tree, clean up theirs toys which are spewed all over the 1st floor, prep lunch and dinner for tomorrow, start laundry and fold the current load, log into work and get a head start on tomorrow, finish up my shopping with some Xmas shopping online, pack a gym bag for morning, or sit here and tone my arms while my exhausted behind just sits there.

To answer the question, this is my me time, but of course feeling obligated to do the responsible stuff. I guess also my me time today was my 12 minute commute; I got to listen to any music I wanted.

A 12 min commute - I'd murder for that. Mine is at least 45 minutes. 1 hr 15 if H and I are carpooling and I have to swing by his office.

It used to be 1-1.5 hrs so I get why he doesn't want to look for something else. (But he really needs to find something else because his boss is an asshole.) |

I’ve sold my soul for this 12 minute commute. I could probably make another $10-15k if I was willing to commute South (Stamford, Greenwich, NYC) but that commute is absolutely horrible and its a different lifestyle. Probably 45 min without traffic becomes closer to 2hrs with traffic each way, or you can take the train but still almost as long due to the number of stops. I’d get to work with more exciting clients and, well, still work with assholes but at least they’d be rich assholes who could probably further my career. But little kids am lack of childcare. So here I is.

Our commute most days is 14 minutes or less and that is H’s preferred max. He got used to it in PA when he got a house close enough to work that he could let the dogs out every day, but now it’s 110% because he likes to come home at lunch and use his own toilet. I mean “come home to see M,” it’s ok friend, we all know the truth. He’s about 45 minutes away T and Th and you can just see the tension rolling off him when he walks in the door. Cannot imagine the hour plus city traffic some have to drive through.

I start work at 6am to avoid traffic. My commute is about 35-40 minutes but if I worked a more traditional 8-5 it easily take over an hour.

One benefit to living in such a small place. I can get anywhere in the city in about 15 minutes, or 20 minutes in rush hour.

So here I is. That does not at all sound worth an extra $10-15K. Maybe if you added a zero or something. But seriously, you definitely made the right choice, quality of life is important too. |
