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

on
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...

Working Mom Tales: Thankful Thursday!

on
It's Thursday morning and it is an absolute beautiful day in Pittsburgh! So there is lots to be thankful for.  However, I think that I'll take a moment to whine, just a little...

I'm still a little behind on my blog posts as you can tell. If you were looking for a Wednesday Word of Wisdom, I am sorry, but I neglected to post one.  It will post today. And although it won't be on Wednesday I do hope that you benefit from the quote nonetheless.

You may wonder why I'm not posting it right now.  Well, I am typing this entry remotely. I took a cab to work this morning because I remain carless.  It's really amazing at how creative you have to be when you don't have your car. 

Since my car died I have literally taken planes, trains, and automobiles!  I like the New York subway. It's efficient and makes sense.  I have decided that public transportation everywhere else does not always make sense.  It has its own vocabulary, rules, and etiquette.  As a spoiled person with a car for my entire adult life I was ignorant of how it all worked.  Now, I get it.  And while I believe that it is a necessary community resource, I know that I shall count my blessings every day once I have a car again. 

Did I mention that we have to buy another car???  Yeah, the transmission gave out.  For all of you "non-car" people, transmissions cost tons of money and it's often better to buy another car instead of replacing it, especially when your car is over twelve years old like mine.

Oh well, I shall post my words of wisdom when I am back at my "real" computer.  Until then, have a great day and enjoy your world!
