The 4 Hour Work Day…Sucks
September 26th, 2007
First, the good news: I'm feeling so much better both physically and mentally than a year ago or even 6 months ago, and I'm diving into my work with gusto. I really enjoy the creativity and the intellectual challenge. And I love the fact that I can work from home.Now, ...
Living the Sandwich Generation
September 25th, 2007
I am living the Sandwich Generation life.....and I don't mean grilled cheese or pastrami on rye (though I could go for a good swiss melt one of these days). :)My dad turned 89 on 9/2, and he's been having health challenges. I feel like we're in a medical circus. ...

Baby in the Car Seat

I'm typing this on my laptop as I sit in a chair on the driveway with baby in the car seat asleep. I just didn't have the heart to wake her - she needed a nap - and when we got home from running an errand, I decided to leave ...
Transition
September 5th, 2007
One of the members in our group made the transition from a mom-to-be to a mom last week. Everything seems to have gone smoothly (from what I can tell from her email), breastfeeding and all. So far, most of the women I have met experienced non-dramatic, non-traumatic childbirths. ...

I am on the path to adventure and self discovery....at least for the moment.....and hopefully longer. And, who would have thought that motherhood later in life would bring it out in me.Being the mom to a busy four year old boy has always kept me on my 40 something ...
