Thanks FoxGal. Hubby and I had a talk tonight. He knows the kids were abusing the phone, and will talk to them about it. He knows they need to keep the lines clear, but he also said I need to get a handle on my "boss". She spent an hour on the phone with me tonight while reading her own email, looking for files... basically thinking out loud and not really needing me there... I'm just a person on the other end of the phone. This is typical for her and it drives me nuts... especially since when I try to charge her for the time she has a fit. He's right: I DO need to get a handle on her. She is the one who tried to get through several times and couldn't.

I sure wish I could be rude to their friends... I don't think its in me to be rude on the phone! Clients always tell me what a joy I am to speak to because I sound so energetic and bubbly! I swear, they say that! LOL

The WORST part of being home is that since hubby is out of the house all day he thinks I can run the errands like no problem... need to go to the post office? Need to call the electric company? Need to run a bill to the township hall? No problem, Kim can do it! no she can't! I have just as much free time during the day as he does! At least he gets a scheduled lunch break! I get mine when I have a breather between phone calls! And then he expects me to take and bring home kids from sports practice... again, because I am home. If I worked in an office, would my boss let me leave to do that? NO! Then why do they think I have half an hour to spare to drop them off at school, and another half hour to spare two hours later to pick them up?
