Being a mom is a tough job.......but I couldn't imagine life without the kids.

Summertime and the living isn't so easy....

Wow, what a great place to express my thoughts and share my experiences.

As a working mom I feel more like a juggler in a psychedelic circus. A juggler with far too many hats and not enough hands. I know, nothing new and there are plenty of women out there with the same struggle, which is why we need to stick together.

So, summer is here and for the moment, I have only one full time job. My children.......Yes, I do agree they are my most important and impressive accomplishment (on a good day) and they are a walking representation of my success (or lack there of) as a parent.

Explain to me how my 5 year old can turn "Mommmmmmmm" into the most dreaded word in the world, especially when it is followed by a, "she looked at me, touched me, breathed on me......?" It sends chills up my spine and cuts straight through to my last nerve faster than a finely tuned Ferrari. It is all exacerbated by our lack of air conditioning when the humidex is pushing 43 degrees. When does school start again?

But guess what? Tomorrow is a new day and I get to do it all over again.....oh joy!
