One Secret to a Working Mom's Success: Keep Standing

Me, standing in Barbados Those of us who live our lives out loud on the internet subject ourselves to scrutiny. Some comment, "Nobody's life is perfect. These posts must be fake," Those making those comments might even be close to us because they "know our business" and they whisper and gossip and say, "she's so fake".  To those who may read my blog and make such comments, (the trolls) know that I hear you, see you, and completely disagree. 

It's still Twitter Tuesday!

In my quest for more Twitter moms I have "met"some fascinating gals and a dad that I had to include because he’s funny and cool.
I found moms of all shapes sizes and interests. I found moms who discovered  surprise pregnancies. I found moms committed to Christ and their families. I found moms committed to baking and loving. I found a mom who says that she is living in a “sea of testosterone” and she isn’t living in a frat house! I also found a ton of moms who are multi-tasking their asses off.  They sell #Silpada jewelry. They are wives, mothers, maids, bookkeepers, doctors, lawyers and Indian chiefs in addition to being moms.  Well, I didn’t actually find an Indian chief, but I bet I could have if my work and mothering obligations hadn’t intervened!  
The most rewarding finding this week was finding a mom who describes herself as “rotten”. I loved that she claimed that label for herself since most days I like I am barely earning a passing grade as a mom myself. It’s nice to know that I have company. (the "super mom" image that accompanies this post is merely aspirational!)

Finally, I am so happy to have found @booyahdad, a man who is strong enough to proclaim that he loves his wife, loves his kids and loves social media!
Till next Tuesday, keep tweeting!
