A Secret to Success as a Working Mom: Turn Burn Out Into Bliss and Embrace Joy

on
Last weekend my youngest was committed to going to the "Water Steps" a man-made water fall in Pittsburgh by the rivers. (Fun Fact: Three rivers converge in Pittsburgh--The Ohio River, The Monongahela River, and the Allegheny River.)  He kept asking. I knew he was serious when he said, "If you won't take me, I'll ask  daddy!" Given that it was highly unlikely that would happen on an unscheduled day, I relented. So, we went. It wasn’t planned in the way most things in my life are. No calendar block. No checklist. No “productive” purpose attached. And, so in some respects it was uncomfortable. And yet, it seemed necessary. It was the idea of my 8-year-old—offered with the kind of urgency only children possess when something is profoundly important to them.

Appeal to Congress by Working Moms: Get Rid of Daylight Savings Time!

on
I made an "appeal" to Congress last year to abolish Daylight Savings Time. I ask all working moms to do the same.
 
We struggled to get up this morning. We went to bed at the regular time, but weren't prepared to give up that hour. I know that it's going to be tough until we get back on schedule. (Fortunately, it's a sunny day in Pittsburgh. So, there's hope to make this a great day!)
Any other families struggling with Daylight Savings Time? Perhaps we should get a petition going?!
