Hello again!

It's been far too long! I feel as though I've dropped off the face of the earth....life has taken over.

How do women do it? How do they manage to maintain that delicate balance between work & life? I haven't figured it out yet. It's been five months since I started back to work and I'm still trying to get into the groove (how very 1984!).

Rush rush rush is all I do. Rush out the door to get to work - rush home to get dinner ready - rush to the store because I forgot to buy the kitty litter - rush to the library to find I've got a seven-dollar late fee on Madonna's "The English Roses" (do you see a theme here?). Argh!!!

Thank heavens the children have adapted to mommy going to work three days a week. In fact, I think they look forward to mommy's "work days". Ask my son why his mommy goes to work & he'll reply "to buy money for me". I think he's trying to piece together the fact that I work for a bank & buy things with the money I earn, hence the buying money bit. My daughter sees it as an opportunity to get mommy to pick things up on her way home...."Mommy, maybe you can pick up some marshmallows so we can make cocoa and watch 'merican idol together, okay?". How can I refuse? By the way, David Archuleta aaaaaaall the way. How cute is he?!? Am I the only one who wants to adopt him?!

I'd love to chat a while longer, but the dishes await. So shall I combat the sink first, or perhaps Mt. Saint Laundry!
