Thanks for having me, Blonde Mom! I loved reading the comments of your readers. I am always in awe of moms, the things they do to survive (ie. 4 jobs), the flexibility, the understanding and of course the humor, thank Goodness for the humor!

If any of you happen to live in the Tri-state area (NJ, PA, DE), I am visiting groups of moms for “Cocktails and Conversation” to have discussions similar to the one found here in your comments list. Contact me if you want me to visit (no charge) at Help4NewMoms.com!

I work full time outside the home from "9-5." Luckily for me, I have a husband who stays home with the kids, so many of the chores stay done. Of course, it doesn't seem as if my stay-at-home husband does quite as good a job with keeping house as I remember my mother doing when I was a kid. But, he also spends much more quality time with the kids than I remember my mother doing. I guess it's a tradeoff, huh? .-= Marie´s last blog ..Parent Teacher Conference =-.

As you know, I’ve been a SAHM for 15 years (sort of) worked from home and just posted about starting a part-time job (outside the home) in a few days. So, I don’t know what the heck to call myself, anymore (shuddup!) however, raising teens and tweens, I’m pretty used to transitioning, all the time. Awesome post, my friend.

I never know how to answer that question! I work at home, pretty much freelance, kinda sorta fulltime (in terms of number of hours, if not regular daily schedule). It's so amorphous! .-= mayberry´s last blog ..Not such a lonely word =-.

I am a work outside of the home mom, but I would honestly do anything (legal of course!) if I could just stay home with my daughter. Unfortunately, financially I can’t afford to stay home so I work FT, but honestly it kills me to know she’s at daycare everyday with someone else rubbing her backs for naptime and holding her when she’s sad.

I LOVE her daycare and the teachers are amazing, but still they’re not her Mama—know what I mean?! Sigh…

This books sounds really good…I think I will have to check it out!
