Ohh..so true. And on your days off, you have to ask the kids what the date is.

You get back your kids's assignment sheets with a weeks worth of your signatures and reallize you have put RN after every single signature. (teacher must think I am REALLY full of myself)

You intended on getting the laundry done, but discover febreeze can work in a pinch

You serve the "healthy" cereal to your kids for DINNER

That's one of the reasons why I miss San Antonio, great little mexican place btwn home and work that was open 24hrs, and served the best Strawberry Daiquiris.

There is a place in the city I live that has a beer and pool joint open at 7 am and the oly folks that go there are hospital people,firefighters and cops.
