So far so GREAT!

My last day of a person with a real job is Monday, and I feel fine. I've been processing this decision for so long now, it's just a fact of life, but people are a little shocked.

I think I have figured out the reason for the So Called "Mommy Wars." It's about lunch. Working moms and SAHM's like to have lunch with other moms, but it's almost impossible to arrange a lunch date between groups. Whereas, if you're both working in the same neighborhood, for example downtown Boston, you just call up at ten AM and say "Lunch?" I can do that now with my friends that don't work, but it's too hard to schlepp downtown with the kid or kids for lunch.

I think it's just that women are very social, and we try to "convert" people to our side so we have somebody to eat with on a regular basis.

If you think about it, it really makes sense.
