Taxi Mom

I once had a friend who told me that the "easy" part is when your kids are young.

She went on to describe the benefits of being in control of where they went, who they talked to, what they ate, etc. Her experience was that it was easier to work outside the home when your kids are in early elementary school. The tough juggling begins once they reach middle school and they begin to have their own lives.

Oh my...has there ever been anything truer said to me? Big Al and I are now juggling start and stop times are on work days. It looks like I might start going in a couple of days a week at 6:30 a.m., and one day starting late and ending even later - so the twins can attend, achieve and be all their pre-teen selfs scream they need to be.

And really, I wouldn't change it for the world. I was one of the shyest kids in school and it was awful. I'll take crazy, hectic taxi-driver mom days anyday over coaxing a child to attend anything.

What a twit!

Now that's winter is hopefully, finally over I can start writing again on this blog.

I've become engrossed over the past few days with various social medias. I have an account on Facebook. Sister and I have reached a civil understand that we love each other dearly, but we'll not be Facebook friends nor will we delve too deeply into each other's FB activities.

My new favorite site is Twitter. I'm enjoying the challenge of getting my message across in 140 character.

After recently completing some social media training I began adding my Facebook and Twitter accounts to my electronic signatures on my email. I was bragging last week about how many "followers" I had on Twitter. (If you know me, you know competition rules every aspect of my life.)

Anyhoo...sent an email to Wendy the other day who fell out of her chair laughing. Seems I had left one crucial letter out of the Twitter signature - you guessed it the "w". Guess all those followers were just curious as to what in the world was going on!
