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 Saving Time

on
I know that Congress is a little busy trying to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act and explain the tweets of the current POTUS. I understand and believe that is important work. That said, can they do parents, especially working moms, a solid and get rid of Day Light Savings Time? That is a nonpartisan issue that everybody should be able to rally around. We're all dragging in my house. My workouts have fallen by the wayside. And I can barely get up on time. I'm trying to reclaim my sunny, morning disposition. To that end "Get behind me Satan Day Light Savings Time!" You're not going to win because I am victorious!!! See Joel Osteen, I've been listening! ;-)

The link below contains my plea. Please and thank you!!!
