I think we as stay at home MOMs need avacation, and stage a protest, make our kids and husbands appriciate us more. Lets all meet at a hotel, freebe (Davids work) and play hookie. See how the Dads like to do the chores, keep the kids in line, get the school work done. keep food on the table. It is not fun sometimes
we need a break too.
