Adventures of Super Mom

Ok, so it has been way to long since I have written anything, life takes over sometimes. I started my new job at DIGITAS as a Senior Copywriter in Atlanta June 1. I guess I am officially now a Super Mom, working out of the home and also caring for my two girls, husband, house and one cat and of course doing my glass still at night and on the weekends. The fish died, so that's one less thing to have to worry about.

I worked from home for many years, and although it definitely has its benefits, there is something to be said for working outside the home in an office, where I can really focus and not be distracted by home issues, though I got pretty good at tuning that stuff out after 8 years. One thing about working from home is that even when I can tune out all the distractions, I feel guilty about not tending to them. But I am loving my job, as it allows me to really focus on one thing, which is writing, and that's what I really want to do. I was getting spread pretty thin at my previous job, trying to do all the things they put on my plate, but though I don't mind wearing many hats, it did sometimes start to feel like I was doing too many things. So, moving on.

The kids seem very happy in their new daycare also, and it is closer to home. Plus K started his new job this past week, so we are really rocking and rolling now. I seriously want to hire a maid service though, just someone to come weekly and do the stuff I hate, and don't have much time for, like dusting, vacuuming and cleaning the bathrooms. I'd rather spend my Saturdays with my kids and working on glass, not scrubbing the toilet.Ugh!

I am traveling to Stamford at the end of the month, my first trip up to the Stamford DIGITAS office, so that's cool. It will be the first time I have left my younger one overnight and only the second time I have left my older one, but I know my husband can handle it, just have to contend with my own Mommy guilt. What is that anyway?

Oh, here's a tip for those working Moms and/or Dads. Go to the grocery store during your lunch break to pick up milk or dinner things, then just stick them in the fridge at work and remember to take them home so you don't have to stop on the way home from work. Ok, that's it.There's a grocery near me where I can grab a few groceries, my lunch, a coffee and stuff for dinner all during my lunch break! Its multitasking time!

I feel like since I am writing more for my job, I need to be reading and writing more in general so that I keep my brain sharp and my words fresh. Ok, more later..
