Hello world... wow... I'm trying my hand at blogging... a working mom, finding time to pull together a string of coherent words... Of course it's 12:32 am. And I have this feeling like "who cares about what I have to say" but then I have conversations with so many working mom friends, and SAHM friends and we all have so much to share about this journey we call mommyhood... So, I figured, what the heck?!
I am mom to two awesome boys, 2 and 4, almost 3 and 5. I work a LOT And am trying to make sense of it all. I have streaming thoughts in my head "quit your job, your kids will not be 3 and 5 forever", "you are in the prime of your career, what the hell are you thinking?" "we have a talent shortage, surely I can afford 1 to 2 years and then can jump back in" and then "how the hell am I going to pay for that? We will be eating ramen noodles" and then "I need to be an advocate for longer maternity, and more affordable care!! Washington, hear me roar!"
I vacilate between "I am SO angry with corporate america" to "I love that having kids didn't derail my career".
In short, I'm a hot mess...
In the mean time, my boys are getting older and my brain hurts from all the permutations...
I just started Arianna Huffington's Thrive... I am hoping that in it, I will find the answers to all my life questions... And I hope she spills the beans early because there are no guarantees this mama's attention span will make it! No pressure Arianna!
I'll keep you posted!
Til next time super mamas!
