Pumpin'

I just found this poem I wrote about 5 years ago.  I was working full time after the birth of my first child.  The office I worked in only had three single bathrooms for the entire building so I had to sit in one of them to pump two times a day.  It was horrible. 

Pumpin'

I pump in a bathroom
that is cold and tall
I've had my chair stolen
I now sit on one that is too small
It is humilating and awkward to say the least
and it usually smells of a dying beast
But it is all I have
so two times a day
I lock myself in and pump away.

  I love my job, it gives me a break from my kids!

That is hell. At my last job I too pumped in bathroom with people knocking on the door to see if I was almost done. Hell.Now I have room to myself with a phone and newspaper access. It's my 15 2X per day for myself (and for Ivan).I pump and drive - is that bad?
