Hilary Rosen, Democratic strategist, made the unfortunate comment that Ann Romney has "never worked a day in her life". I have not raised children but I am pretty sure that raising five boys to manhood and fighting MS and cancer counts as "work".On the "hard work" scale I rank being a stay-at-home Mom with a financially secure, supportive spouse as less onerous than being a single Mom who also works outside the home (hardest job ever!). I rank my own career doing work I loved as far less arduous than having a "menial" job where I'd probably watch the clock as each boring minute slowly went by. So my Big Conclusion is this: a woman - or man - doing a job whether inside or outside of the home is W-O-R-K-I-N-G.
I am proud of my life's work and I will unashamedly give myself an attaboy for suceeding in a "man's field" and doing my part to put a crack in the glass ceiling. .
