For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for September 18, 2009

Ah yes, the best cause of all….freedom. Just be careful what you wish for, you may just get it.

That’s the most genuinely happy face I’ve seen Elly sport for a long time!! You go girl…. and enjoy it while it lasts. Alas, a week goes by all too quickly. sigh

…..wise words, mroberts88 to be sure ;^)

Thanks Open, now which part are you refering to?

“Just be careful…”

“Ve grow too soon oldt und too late schmardt.”

Elly’s going from one ‘job’ to another. From one ‘boss’ (the kids) to another (John). But having been both a stay at home Mom and a working Mom, at least the job out of the house has breaks, lunches, paid sick days, vacations, etc.

Its the change Elly needs. After a week of working she may well be very happy back at home; and if she isn’t then she will know it *is* time to go look for work!

I don’t think this is gonna go too well. She will have to take orders from John and it may cause a lot of grief both at the office and at home.

there’s a disturbance in the force

This will be the last happy face we see on Elly for a while.

Coffee-Turtle, Don’t fret young padawon, as it should be everything is.

the big problem i forsee is john expecting elly to cook clean and wait on him after work

Some wish for freedom, and when granted it, find it very sad - due the circumstance.

Elly and John will look each other for 24/7. Good luck! :-)

A reliable baby-sitter is to a mother what a friday is to a 9-to-5 full-time worker, sort of but what a nice sense of elation on her face!

YOU GO GIRL!

Freedom gets lonely, but hey, that’s your tradeoff.

howtheduck - about #3. I see what you mean however, it could be the stairs leading to the family basement which would then make sense. But your probably right in that it is a mistake.

…..the second part ;-)

As people have said, freedom is good, but not to much.
