Babysitting Day
I never thought I'd have a career, other than motherhood. I figured I'd go from there to some "advanced babysitting," either for others or my children's children. Did I figure that my daughters would work out of the home, or did I think I'd just give them breaks? I can't remember.
But anyway. Now I work part-time, and I see the grandkids once a week.
When I arrived in Ofra, I could see that the chairs, blue and white, taken out for their Yom Ha'atzmaut celebrations hadn't been stored yet.
I walked to the babysitter's place.
The Arab homes I could see from my route are much larger and fancier than anything in Ofra or Shiloh or Beit El.

And I never thought I would want to be a stay-at-home mom, which I was for five years, and in some ways I still am, since I now work from home!

leora, you're certainly right. Flexibility is the key, not ideology.
