I want it all.....

It isn't too much to ask is it? I want a part-time job doing something I enjoy, approx 25 hours a week, Monday to Friday..... I wouldn't have said this was asking a lot, but after searching for a very long time for this job I have discovered it is partly mythical and partly so scarce that when you apply for it you don't even get a courtesy letter saying thanks but no thanks back. I am an educated person, I don't expect the world given to me on a plate and I can just pick out the best bits and leave the nasty bits that are good for you out...BUT I am only here once, for an unlimited time only, and I want to make the most out of my time here. That means I wont sell myself for a price totally to a company, I expect time off which fits in with my family, and I want to spend our time off together enjoying our time. Because the time I have with a young family is too short, and with my eldest aged seven and a half, and my youngest aged eighteen months,and my only daughter aged five, I intend to make the most of them while they still want to know me and are still speaking to me after their terrible up-bringing. They are pretty awesome kids, they argue a lot, they hurt each other, they scream at me, and do naughty naughty things, which is what you expect from kiddies, but they are also loving, happy clever amazing children and they love me because I am their Mum. I am still looking for that mythical job, to fit in around my life - unfortunately employers seem to think we should fit in life around their jobs, which I will never do willingly.
