One Secret to Success as a Working Mom: Remember Kids Will Be Kids

At Atria's I have SO many incomplete blog posts that it's laughable. They're incomplete because I'll start writing them and then life happens. They're incomplete because in between my inspiration for the post and editing it, I realized that I had a sponsored post to complete. They're incomplete because some national event took precedence. They're incomplete because I realized that we needed milk, eggs, or some other essential and I just forgot about it. There are so many explanations about why they're incomplete that I could devote an entire series of posts to that. Instead, I'd like to share a post from several years ago about how my kids messed up my grandmother's birthday dinner...

Random thoughts...


Today was a great day. It was the last day that I could get my car inspected. Fortunately, I was able to do that. YEAH!!! My success did come at a price though. I had to endure the ridicule of the mechanic who chastised me for waiting until the last minute. I wanted to ask whether he thought that he was my father, but I suppressed the urge. It seemed prudent to just endure the ridicule and get what I needed. I also had to endure the Pittsburgh Bus as a mode of transportation to work. Despite those inconveniences, my reward is that I can I now drive down the street without fear of being caught with an expired inspection sticker.

Also, I received a tremendous surprise today. My birthday is on Monday, November 5th. And it looks like I am going to Vegas this weekend to celebrate! I've never been there before so I am incredibly excited. The trip is going to be a present from my boyfriend who continues to demonstrate that long distance does not mean hopeless.

So, as I drift off to sleep tonight, I shall smile. Today was a resounding success! (What can I say, I'm easy to please.)
