One of those days...

Yesterday was one of those days... One of those days where I found out, after being at work all day- that I still had the tag on my new blouse. One of those days where I had so much to do that I couldn't get out of work on time. One of those days where when I got home, the work was just beginning. One of those days where Little J cried over everything, and I wanted to. Here's to today, and hoping it's one of those days that's a little better than yesterday.

2 Quick 'Mom Beauty Tips'

Let me just preface this post by saying that I do not consider myself an expert on 'beauty' tips. However, I happen to be related to someone who has been trying to help me along the path to looking and feeling better for... well, my whole life. My sister read my New Year's Resolutions, and pointed me towards two great products that I wanted to share with you.

Working Mother Identity

This post on ABC News rang so true to my life... http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/lifestyle/2012/04/working-moms-social-misfits-how-to-fight-isolation/ Recently, I switched departments in my office- so, wanting to fit in with 'the girls' upstairs... I invited THEM to happy hour. I have not received any invites since. It makes you question whether people just don't like you (totally possible), or if they don't invite you because you have children. Send an invite, I'll accept every now and then!

99% of the time, given the choice between happy hour or time with my boys... I'll choose time with my boys. But every once in a while, when I've had a particularly frustrating (or satisfying) day at the office- I want to let loose a bit and head to happy hour!

When the majority of your time is spent at the office, and you struggle with the pressures of motherhood, working and being a wife... you have to maintain some sense of self. This blog helps me with that, and provides me an outlet. I hope that the ABC News article shows other working mothers that they are not alone, and that we are all experiencing similar issues!

What do you do to maintain a sense of self?
