Very thoughtful about the two worlds that the media would have you think hate each other-- those blasted working moms and us stay-at-homes. Having been both, I'd say nothing is easy, dammit. There are often times that I think, I'm wiping down this high chair for the third time today... and I'll do it three or four times tomorrow... and the day after that...<BR/><BR/>But, I did have to laugh at the waking at 8 am part- ha! I'm happy if I get to sleep until 6 am, and if I want a shower before the 'big show' that is our typical morning around here, I better haul my patootie out of bed quick! :)<BR/><BR/>Glad to be back!morninglight mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04128926711800459894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8197179663823770853.post-35237713821741665952008-11-14T08:14:00.000-06:002008-11-14T08:14:00.000-06:00I like Mishi's idea... coffee first!!!This was a p...I like Mishi's idea... coffee first!!!<BR/>This was a perfect post, Colleen :)Karen MEGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10834425321020756655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8197179663823770853.post-57241842495465883592008-11-13T20:44:00.000-06:002008-11-13T20:44:00.000-06:00Very cute post.Very cute post.Happy2bmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01355425001004090592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8197179663823770853.post-91546902815761043452008-11-13T19:14:00.000-06:002008-11-13T19:14:00.000-06:00I love this so much, I'm submitting it to Blog Nos...I love this so much, I'm submitting it to Blog Nosh. <BR/><BR/>Yes.
