Working Mummy's Marathon
I had a dream I was running on a speeding treadmill being bombarded with a series of brain-bending tasks that drained my fatigued, multi-tasking mind. Only it's not a dream, it's my life. A mummy marathon where I race to keep up with all the ongoing responsibilities thrown my way. I'm not complaining, because I'm living my dream. Just venting.
Since becoming the keeper of two kids, I have two full-time jobs and a heart pulled in opposing directions. Sound familiar? That's why we've pulled together this bunch of easy to read articles written by and for working moms to help us survive the non-stop to do list. Take a deep and read on. You deserve it.
