Last week was crazy for me, I don't usually work during the week so I can be home with my kids, but ended up working every-other day and then to top it off was called-in on Friday, right when we were going to start-up the 3rd season of Big Bang Theory with Debbie & Jared.
Needless to say work has felt like my home-away-from-home, I feel bad that I am so tired and usually ornery with my family. I can't complain that I have a good job that does allow me to be home with my kids so much...but oh man to just be a "stay-at-home" mom.
So this afternoon I got dressed, lunch packed and ready to head out the door when I noticed a missed call on my cell from work--I called in and found out they were calling-off 5 people and it was my turn, but would I please be on-call. I said sure and changed out of my scrubs, excited for my unexpected freedom. The only problem was a little later I noticed 2 more missed calls from work, goodness, I called back within 15 minutes and they said they had needed me to come in, but had called another girl. They asked if I wanted to be the one that worked and I told them not to worry about it and I would just stay on-call.
But now I sit here and think, retard, it would have been 'time & a half'...oh well, at least I have enough PTO if I don't get called-in.
Someday, maybe, I will hold that elusive title of SAHM...here's hoping!
