It's not easy being a woman.
It's especially not easy when you're a multi-tasking woman. Actually, that may be the most redundant sentence in the universe, because all women are multi-taskers- even when we're not trying to be.
Who else could wear so many hats, yet not break her neck? Even if we don't have kids, we usually have more than one task going on at the same time anyway- we just have more time to devote to those tasks.
Some hats may seem like one hat, but they aren't. They resemble those hats you see in a Dr. Seuss book, where one hat has a bunch of tiny ones under it. These hats have sub-hats!
For instance:
Wife:
Husband Caregiver
Laundress
House cleaner
Personal Shopper
Chef
Seductress
Nurse
Incubator for the next generation
Mom:
Cow (when they are babies)
Cash Cow (when they are teens)
Toxic Waste Manager
Cuddler
Sergeant
Disciplinarian
Referee
Jailer
Cook (making meals from hot dogs and spaghetti, not the fancy stuff when you used to be a Chef)
Dishwasher
Greased Piglet Handler (aka wet, soapy, kid wrangler)
Herder
Surgeon
Taxi Driver
Seamstress
USO Expert (Unidentified Stinky Object)
Lawyer
Sage
Actress (especially when the kids need a monster to "kill")
Financial Guru
Lunch Lady
Ninja
Businesswoman:
Organizer
Acrobat (especially in high heels)
Counselor
Scribe
Computer Expert
Psychic (you know the boss will be here any second!)
Phone Operations Expert
Zookeeper
Office Machine Repair Guru
...and this is just three hats. This post would never end if I mentioned all of the hats we women wear.
Men have hats too:
Work
Eat
Sleep
Helloooo Wife!
Men are smart enough to take off a hat when they're done with it. Not us women, nooooo....we need to keep those hats handy just in case we're needed for something- like a Zombie Apocalypse. You know you have a hat for that, too....don't you? (especially if you have kids!)
