priceless...

well, it's about time. apparently stay-at-home moms are worth $138,000+ a year. i think that figure may be low, but at least it's nice to see better-than-minimum-wage attributed to an important, stressful, and often difficult job.

the article stated "the 10 jobs listed as comprising a mother’s work were housekeeper, cook, day care center teacher, laundry machine operator, van driver, facilities manager, janitor, computer operator, chief executive officer and psychologist" -- i would have added mediator, cheerleader, dragon-slayer, dishwasher, nurse, high-priced call girl, social director, librarian, head of creativity, spiritual counselor, fairy godmother, phys ed coach, seer, animal control, activities director, judge, dispenser of guidance and wisdom, and giver of boundless love. i'm sure there are more i will think of later, and more you would add.

some moms don't get respect, some don't get support, some don't get acknowledged for all they do. i, on the other hand, have two more-than-wonderful sons and le husband parfait. i am blessed.
