I work fulltime, and also am launching a business with 4 other women. One job pays me & hopefully within the next year, the other one will, too.
My interests:
I am very involved in my son's school, and I also serve on the Board of Directors for a local charity. My life's focus has narrowed greatly since having a child. I now have a pressing need to change the world, and my interests and hobbies tend to reflect that. Oh, and also, Tivo'ing reality shows that I pretend I don't watch.
I really, really wish I could answer "Exercise", but I'd be lying. My best relaxer is simply turning off all noise and enjoying silence.
Best advice I've gotten:
At work, you're a professional first, then a mom. So keep parenting talk limited to your close work friends.
An adjective to describe me:
Energetic
My favorite book:
One??!! Impossible. But the one book that started me on my new life path is the One Minute Millionaire.
My favorite movie:
Again - one??!! What about one per category??!! Okay - if I have to name something, then I'd say I never bypass a showing of Grease or Grease 2. (don't even ask.)
Family
Number of children:
1
Age of children:
3
Relationship status:
Married
Parenting advice I follow:
Parent for what works for you and your family, not anyone else's.
Parenting advice I ignore:
Unsolicited!!!
Favorite activity with my kids:
Giggle. Which should and does occur with great frequency in our house.
I set my mind to schlepping through as many of those pesky tiny little to-do's on my list that I could. And I got through a ton of them - not even done yet. I'm on a roll. Not bad for a rainy Tuesday.

My morning commute is usually 45-60 minutes, depending if I drive all the way in or save some gas money and ride the bus (the bus takes longer!) I do...
I agree with Kim. Keep the lunches with your daughter, but add in some lunches for you. I think you really should take the time for yourself, 100%, and...
