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...

Wordless Wednesday: Fighting Colds...


We have been battling colds in my house for the better part of a month. Some people battle colds gracefully. I tend to be filled with so much mucus that I wind up coughing like I am hacking up a lung and blowing my nose like I am an incubus of the plague. 


Indeed, last week I attended a meeting where people nearly sprayed me with Lysol! Someone had the nerve to ask me, "Are you sick?" I resisted the urge to say no, all of this tissue around me is merely a fashion statement!

The entire thing has been an ordeal, especially since we have been fighting it using a series of fairly ineffective homeopathic options. I think that our daughter picked up some germs at Kindergarten and they have been circulating throughout our house and now Andre has it. I know that we will all recover, but until we do, have pity on us. This photo really captures it...
