Working the Working Mom Guilt
These past few weeks, we have had a number of activities going on that have nothing to do with the adults but everything to do with the kids. And that means adults have to drive the kids from place to place. Which, as we all know, isn’t exactly everyone’s favorite way to spend the weekend. …
Moments in Leadership – Enable Others to Act
Ever have one of those days where your amazing leadership skills enable one of your team members to achieve all that they needed to and have the win of all wins? Yeah…this isn’t a story about that. It’s the story of a time when things didn’t go as planned. When I learned a lot more …
Mom 2.0 Summit Recap
So, you say to yourself, it’s been a while since IT Girl got back from Mom 2, where the heck is her recap post? Everyone else who is everyone has already written theirs! Was she taken out by the hurricanes and hand grenade cocktails? Were the rumors about Nic Cage true? Did she slip …
Freakout Friday
It’s not enough that it’s the week before Sales Conference, and the end of our fiscal year, as has been previously mentioned. Now, the fates are ganging up on me. In fact, exactly when I think it can’t get any weirder, it does, so I almost hesitate to post now, lest something amusing and blogable …
Bustin' Loose
Ever have that kind of day when you wake up thinking you can take on the world and it doesn’t work out that way? You get dressed, head downstairs, and something happens to give you a sign that it’s not really going to be that kind of a day? …
Leaving the "Mafia"
With the Writer’s Strike sucking up all the creativity in the world and forcing us to watch the likes of Paradise Hotel (yes, it’s coming back, but no you won’t get a hot link from me), a new scripted television drama is nothing to be ignored. Although, after watching two episodes of Cashmere Mafia, that …
Snow Daze
UPDATE! The schools in the area erred on the side of caution and cancelled school for today. Me? I’m sick, so I’m trapped in the house with the kids and a cold. Fun stuff! Little IT came home with a note today advising that the weather forecast for tomorrow might necessitate an early dismissal from school. …
The Mommy "Wars"
I just got done reading The Mommy Wars by Leslie Morgan Steiner. Normally, these books are like brussels sprouts to me – don’t like them, don’t want them, keep them as far away from me as possible. This is surprising to many of my friends and co-workers, but I have my reasons. I happen to …
There's no Alice Cooper song for this occasion
For most, school is already back in session or soon to be. My 3rd grader (where did the time go? Didn’t she start preschool, like, yesterday??) has her first day tomorrow. A new school year means many things. For parents, one of the most dreaded next to school supply shopping is the call to volunteer. …
Late for work
Today, I was slightly late for work because I overslept. Luckily, I work from home two days a week, so my commute involved me walking downstairs to get some tea and then locking myself into the guest room to start my day. Net net, 5 minutes late. Why did I oversleep? Because my 11 month old …
