What wouldn't I give?

Confession:  I have always harbored a barely masked disdain for my mother.  Until he was recently derailed with an injury, myfather has always worked two jobs; waking up before dawn and coming home late.  My mother meanwhile would sit at home.  All day.  She reads the newspaper and watches a lot of HGTV.  She doesn't really cook or clean.  She doesn't take care of herself.  She took care of my brother and I when we were growing up and there is definitely something to be said for that.  But I've always resented her for what I deem laziness.  I would silently fume about how only a horribly unappreciative, lazy, bitch would stay at home and not have a career.

Fast forward to today.  I'm at home, in a recliner, watching HGTV.  Granted, I was at the office by 8:00 AM and worked a full day.  But, God, what would't I give right now to never have to go back.  To turn in a resignation and just walk away.  To spend my days working out, preparing my husband a gourmet dinner, and, of course, watching HGTV.  Doesn't the fact that I would include exercise and cooking (and cleaning) in my agenda entitle me to this life? 

There is a woman in our office who just recently managed to make this dream happen.  Apparently she essentially chewed off her leg to get out of working.  No tv, no internet, I would assume she will cut eating at restaurants completly out of her new lifestyle. What other sacrifices have been made I do not know.  It's had me thinking:  what wouldn't I give?  What would I really be willing to give up to have the same lifestyle (with the aforementioned lifestyle changes) that I've always hated my mother for having?
