Should I stay or should I go?

August 20, 2007

The word is officially out that my nanny quit and only gave me two days notice to find a replacement.  Everyone’s been so nice and thoughtful offering to help out anyway they can. So why is it then, that after my friends offer to help, they ask me this: Are you going to quit? Yes, I’m [...]

Nanny flunkie

August 19, 2007

My perfect weekend of blog rehab ended with a quick phone call from my nanny tonight: “I don’t think I’m going to be reliable anymore.” Effective Thursday. I couldn’t make this up if I tried.  Two nannies.  One year.  I’m a nanny flunkie.  And to think, I was in the middle of composing a really [...]

My blogging conundrum(s)

August 16, 2007

When you have child care 24/7 there is no end to the time you can spend on the computer working blogging, (honey, I want to hire an au pair!)  as I have done this week.  With my husband in another state, and my parents keeping an eye on the little one I can blog when I [...]

What’s in your office?

August 15, 2007

I showed you what was in mine, so I think it’s only fair I get to see what you all are collecting in your offices.  Especially because I’m working in a remote office this week and am feeling a little lonely without that trusty Handspring CD. Plus, I got a huge kick about this post and [...]

Offices are overrated

August 14, 2007

Did I mention that I’m working “remotely” this entire week? Like, really remotely.  Like, so remote that when I ran out of facial moisturizer yesterday and went to the local grocery store to buy some more they didn’t have my favorite Aveeno one.  My nanny had to go out of town (again!) and since I really have [...]

For Hire: Motherhood

August 13, 2007

Think there are things money can’t buy?  Guess again.  Now, if you have the dough, you can hire “parenting subcontractors,” people you can rent out to do annoying tasks for your children that you don’t want to.  Like removing head lice.  According to an article in Time, there’s a woman out there who really does this.  [...]

The good old days

August 11, 2007

Did I mention that I’m spending the weekend with my “original” family at my parent’s summer house? I mean, just my parents and brother.  No girlfriend.  No husband.  Yes, there is baby thrown in the mix, but he can’t talk yet, so he doesn’t really count. And, apparently the outcome of the weekend so far is [...]

Bare naked lady

August 11, 2007

I hate being naked.  I’m a very modest person, so I rarely let my bare-self show. (Unless I’m in the dressing room at Loehmann’s and I’m scoring a great deal.)  Same way with my nails.  I hate having bare nails. I take that back. I LOATHE having bare nails.  I’m a staunch advocate of the polished nail.  Mademoiselle [...]

What’s left of me

August 10, 2007

I thought packing up your office was supposed to be a cathartic experience.  I went into the task of cleaning up mine to move to another one (with a better view) wondering what kinds of trinkets and treasures I’d uncover.  For other moves I’ve done, like to a new apartment or different city, packing has always been about discovering [...]

Read It Your Self – Working Mom Linklove

August 7, 2007

Busy at work makes for a very bad blogger… that’s me this week.  But there’s so much awesome stuff swirling around the blogosphere right now, that I don’t want you to miss out.  Here’s some reading material until I can get my proverbial s*** together and be bloga-licious once again. And we think we have it rough: Apparently [...]
