I refuse to cave to a minivan. I am still a tomboy - comfortable in Levi's, my Yankees cap and Converse. And I always have a political opinion...hell, I always have an opinion, period. My hubby, my kids and my friends think I should run for office. Thus Momma Politico was born.
Peruse, enjoy, and know that our busy lives are as significant as those in The Washington Post.
My interests:
I'm a politcal wonk, a reader, a beach bum. I love to spend time with my kids, The Hubby, my sisters and my mom.
The beach washes away any stress, even if I just put my toes in! But am still seeking other ways to relax. Not much of a yoga gal.
Best advice I've gotten:
Family first. Any job that can't accept that a 103 fever takes precedence over a project isn't the right place for me.
An adjective to describe me:
smart
My favorite book:
The World According to Garp, by John Irving
My favorite movie:
The American President, among others.
Family
Number of children:
2
Age of children:
13 and 8
Relationship status:
Married
Parenting advice I follow:
My kids need to know that, while I may not always love what they do, but I always love them. That, and when your teenage daughter slams her door the first time, go immediately to her room and remove the door. Makes a very strong case for being respectful of you and your home.
Parenting advice I ignore:
Keeping a schedule, even on vacations and weekends...life is too short, and the kids grow up too fast not to have a pajama day once in awhile!
Favorite activity with my kids:
Talk and laugh, tickle and cuddle. Bookstore trips, play board games. Anything is great as long as it's with them!
Work
Work status:
Work full-time
Industry:
Education
Hours worked per week:
40+
How much I like my job:
I love it!
Job stress level:
Extremely stressful
Best thing about my job:
Changing kids' lives
Worst thing about my job:
Student discipline, lack of parent support,
My dream job:
Blogging/writing for a living...or President of The United States! I'm cool with either one!

My Life To-Do List
Currently on my Life Wish List:
Travel, with or sans kids, through Europe
Write for a living
Run for office
Goals I am working on:
Becoming a principal, or President of The United States, either one
Getting my blog, mommapolitico.blogspot.com
on the map
Raising healthy, happy, educated kids
Projects I am working on:
A date night with The Hubby
Figuring out my place in the blogosphere
Getting through the school year with body and psyche intact
How about, "Your Gal Friday"? Or, "My Assistant"? Then customers could say, I'll need to call My Assistant," and they'd gain a little status! Good luck!
I remember the "terrible threes" all too well. Try to remember that this, too, shall pass. Believe it or not, you'll look back on these days when they...
Right on, Sistah! Funny how you never hear about female politicians embroiled in the sorts of sexual trysts that we see their male counterparts smack...
