Some weeks I have all kinds of trouble dressing myself for work.
OK, there’s people who’d say I have trouble every day, but, they need to shut up.
This has been one of those weeks where nothing has felt right on me. I’ve already used my Friday default outfit, and, it’s only Wednesday. You know, that […]
I read the article School Half Days Are an Unnecessary Burden, and found myself thinking, “No!”, I mean, “Yes!”, I mean , “No!”, “I’m not sure.”
Then my head exploded.
The end.
OK, maybe not, but, I have a dog in both fights. My husband is a teacher, and, I am a working parent of school […]
Much has been written about the generation of kids who have grown up on “excessive” praise.
Now, these kids are in their twenties, and, in the workplace, and, some are craving the same kinds of compliments from their bosses who aren’t used to complimenting in this way.
According to this article at CareerJournal.com, some corporations are […]
One of the hardest things for me about working, and, having young kids are Friday afternoons.
Around 5pm on Friday, my mind looks forward to going home, resting, and, planning what to do for the weekend. However, reality delivers something much different.
Despite the fact that it sounds like a sixties sitcom, there are some Fridays where […]
Today, I have decided to live every working parent related blog article all at once.
As I was reading Paul Nyhan’s Working Dad entry about the nuances of sending sick kids to school, I realized I may have done just that.
My middle child was home with what looked sure to be strep throat yesterday, but, as […]
Just a random thought directed at no one or nothing in particular:
While being a working parent has issues, and, sometimes, challenges, it’s not always an angst filled existence. Or, at least it shouldn’t be.
Today, we got up, took the kids to great schools, and, went to work. It’s a perfectly nice day, I have […]
Work It, Mom! is a new online community “for professional moms”.
There are user-generated articles, forums, interviews, a newsletter, places to share and get advice, a media watch, and, more. Soon to come are blogs, and, a freelance/jobs marketplace.
Even though it is billed as a “moms” thing, there might be some articles of interest to any […]
Fat, Forty and Fired by Nigel Marsh is the story of one man’s journey through raising children, the loss of a high powered job, major surgery, and the realization that work, rather than his family, had dominated his life.
His year off following these events was a life changing experience as he realized that he […]

I used to be a “somebody” at my place of business.
I wore the suits and high heels (no, smarty, I’m not a guy, look at the byline), and, went to the meetings with other “somebodies” where we mostly congratulated ourselves on being “somebodies”, and, other such leadership rigamarole.
The pressure, and, time commitment increased by […]
