Mom and Worker.
Three days a week I send my daughter to a wonderful woman who does out-of-home daycare, so I can work from home. I work for a consulting company (two of them actually). All I need is a computer and a place to put that computer. Working from home is ideal in so many ways. Especially if you tend to flirt with misanthropy, like I do.
On the other days, I am a stay-at-home mom. I love those days. I work when my daughter naps, but I get all the joy of being with her while she is awake. Okay, by "joy" I mean sometimes- downright-inability-to-cope-with-my-toddler joy. But mostly I mean real, get-down-on-the-floor and play-with-toys-and-not-get-out-of-our-PJs-until-noon joy.
By Friday, a day when my daughter is home, I am something...weird. I would not call it lonely. I don't get lonely very often. I get this strange desire to scrub or buy something. Since I am pretty lazy, I usually end up buying something.
What I purchased today from the great Amazon.com:
A yoga video (snort...yeah, like I am going to find the time to do that!)
An herbal colon cleanser (um, I don't know what to say about this one, except I uh, well, need it, but I am pretty sure it will land me in the ER.)
That is all I have to post. I am busy these days, but I did not want my one or two readers to give up on me.
I am sure one of my Amazon purchases will result in something bloggable soon.
Go ahead, guess which one...
Happy Friday!

I think this is one of the greatest challenges of a woman. To find a balance between being a mother and having a career. I applaude you for making it work. It seems an almost impossible task, but you make it sound pretty easy.
Be sure to let us all know how the new purchases work out...
Well I would say the combination of the colon cleanser and the Downward Dog pose from the yoga video should be bloggable.
I also tend to succumb to the "buy something" impulse, but I tend to go for really large iced coffees or yet more toys for the kiddos. You are so virtuous! (Um, well, if a colon cleanser can be considered "virtuous" . . .)
