Pre-kids yes. I loved working, especially on weekends when things were quieter and I could really get a lot done.
But after 2 kids, I don't have the energy to work a fraction as much anymore. By the time the kids go to bed, I'm exhausted. I wish I had more energy to work a lot more. If I could survive on one hour of sleep and be fully rested, I would totally do it... so I could get more work done!
Are you a workaholic?

I wasn't and I still am not. But I get the job done. I just take shortcuts sometimes. Don't tell my boss. Work smarter not harder.

No but my husband is!
I'm a hard worker, but I wouldn't call myself a workaholic.

I have never been a workaholic. I do wish I had more time to do fun projects around the house though. My job stays at work though and I never put in more than 40 hours a week. I would rather be playing with my lo!

I'm a hard worker but not a workaholic. I put in my 40 hours & leave work at the office and do not bring it home. Life is too short.

i definitely work too much. getting mono and then getting pregnant has taught me that i need to slow down and take care of myself. i really just don't have the energy to work tons of hours like i used to.

No, I've never been one. DH is a borderline one since he stays up late looking at new programs, technologies, etc. I'm lucky enough to leave work at home for the most part. I have my work email on my phone, so I can check it before I leave home or if it's an easy question to answer.

Nope, but I"m with the others, DH is a total workaholic. Getting him to take a day off is like pulling teeth!

Nope. And I'm an attorney so it might be better for my career if I was. But I don't like working that much.
Sometimes I think I need a new career!
