Are you a working mom? I realize it’s an oxymoron. Being
a mom is work. And it’s the toughest
job around. But I’m talking about moms who also work out of the home. If you
just went back to work or have worked out of the home since the dawn of time,
work part-time or full-time, you too are a rock star. How do you balance the
insanity? Have you ever showed up at the office wearing two different shoes? With
deodorant on your skirt? Cleaning up the conference table like Terri Garr in
Mr. Mom?
I want to hear your side, your take, your story. Please share!
(I used to tweeze my eyebrows in between traffic
lights. I heard a radio listener once complain about a “crazy lady”
doing this during the morning commute. I’m almost positive he was talking about
me!)

Amy, I agree! You are so right, sister. When you work outside of the home, you often have no idea how you even got to a meeting without showing up naked. You end up running back to the house at least three times because you forgot something. By the time you get to where you need to be, you think you may have left the iron on. And you’re lucky if the kids are dressed and fed…and don’t sell you out to the sitter.

Although I’m not working “outside” the home right now, I just wanted to give utmost praise and support for those women that do! I was one of them, at one time, and I don’t know how it all gets done… I think the vast majority of working moms put themselves last every day so that it can get done.
