This book may have been around a while, but, it’s new to me.
Ask the Children: What America’s Children Really Think About Working Parents by Ellen Galinsky is a report that explores the feelings of children with working parents, and, is based on in-depth interviews with children and their parents.
I’ve not read this one, yet, […]
I’m always writing notes to myself, or, calling home to leave myself a message on the answering machine about a work matter, the kids’ schedules, or, to remind someone at home about something.
Jott is a way to create reminders, send text messages, e-mails and blog entries to yourself or other people, all with […]
Real working mother moment of the day:
I apparently signed up a while back to bring baked good to the 6th grade Christmas party next week.
I, and, two other women whom I happen to know have jobs outside the home, got an e-mail requesting said treats with the words “homemade, NOT store bought” bolded 3 different […]
I ran across a Career Journal article titled The 10 Most Overpaid U.S. Jobs And the Little Effort They Require thinking it might be a tongue in cheek look at some jobs that might be good for someone making a career fit with their family needs.

Like many people, during the holidays, despite my full-time job, I have this fantasy of making the time a winter wonderland and a Christmas fantasy come true for the kids.
But, for whatever reason, it doesn’t always turn out that way.
However, that’s hard to do when I’ve come home from work lately only wanting my […]
This is shaping up to be one of those truly horrific weeks at work.
I don’t even want to speak to anyone after I get home, yet, the kids and the house still beckon.
I’m thinking husbands in the 1950’s had it good when they were greeted at the door after work with a drink and their […]
Sometimes? I am the working parent poster child.
My job is reasonably flexible, but, there are a few times where I must be there during certain hours, no matter what.
This is one of those times.
And, as a teacher, my husband has to be at his job the next few days because of exams.
And, if you’ve been […]
DJ at Making Life Easier in Home and Business tagged me for the 7 things meme, and, since I’ve answered it a number of times at Busymom.net, I thought I’d give it a shot over here, and, make it about work.

“What should I get my boss?’ is a frequently a dilemma for workers during the holidays.
No, not the short boss(es) at home, the one who signs your paycheck.
Assuming that it is desirable and appropriate to give your supervisor a gift, what do you give them?
In some ways, it’s like trying to decide on a […]
I love the series of interviews that Derek at Dad Balance is doing with prominent bloggers who are also dads.
Be sure to check out the interview with (the) Problogger, Darren Rowse and the one with Jeremy Schoemaker of Shoemoney.
Great interviews about work, life, and, parenthood with two of my very favorite bloggers!
