working moms

As a working mom, you are fully qualified to perform professionally in many different career fields. You could hit the lecture circuit as the leading expert on time management. You're a expert on diplomacy, both chauffer and chef extraordinaire, triage nurse, concierge, teacher, janitorial services consultant and the list goes on ad infinitum.

With a daily calendar that regularly has more "Appointments and To Do's" than your schedule system provides lines for, ... the day just gets more interesting as it progresses. The first call is from your 10 year old asking you to bring that homework assignment or project he's left at home, and the second call is the school nurse calling to let you know that the healthy happy 7 year old you sent to school this morning is now running a temperature of 101.6. Then there's the conference with the Math Teacher, the soccer practice, the doctor's appointment for the 101.6 temperature and let's not forget the goals and expectations from your job. By the way, ... your children have used up all your sick days, so if you do get sick,....well,...let's just say you'll be missed.

This is a day in the life of a working mother and the scary part is that it's not that far off base. This page, as it develops, will try to serve as a resource with information designed to make your life a little easier.
