Update on T-Rex: T-Rex was up all night with fever and “hurting eyes”. His fever finally started to go down about 4 am. After sleeping until 9 am he was “all better”. Mommy, on the other hand, had to get up at 5 and go to work with no sleep. What a miserable day in [...]

T-Rex is sick. He woke up today and said his eyes hurt, but nothing else seemed to be wrong. On the way to preschool he told me his eyes were “all better”. He had a pretty good day other than not being able to fall asleep at nap time. About 30 minutes before I picked [...] Returning to work after having a baby is hard enough, but questions you receive from your peers can make the transition much harder.

Chief Executive Jack Welch told the Society for Human Resource Management’s annual conference in New Orleans. “There are work-life choices, and you make them, and they have consequences.” His point of view is that women cannot have a family and rise to the top at [...] I still can’t believe T-Rex goes out into the world to do things without his mommy and daddy. Sometimes he is mature beyond his years, but at all times, he’s only 2. It’s hard to concentrate at work on field trip days. If the kids are scheduled to be back at 11:00 am, I’m still panicking [...] This blog will be for all moms – not just those who work outside the home. Our #1 job is exactly the same. I would love to connect with some moms. If you have a blog or just plan to read mine, drop me a line. I’d love to hear from you. contactme (@) oneworkingmom (.) [...] Welcome to One Working Mom! I’m a mom of two little boys. T-Rex is two and Little Man is 12 weeks. My maternity leave has ended and as a professional working woman, I’m back to the grind. This is my journey. |
