To all the working moms out there, I have something to say. BRAVO. BRA-freakin-VO. BRAVO because I don’t know how you are sane, assuming that you are. BRAVO because whether you work 60 hours a week or 10, you feel like you are constantly being pulled in a million directions.

Without going into detail just yet, it does look like I’ll be returning to the work force after all, in some way shape or form. It’s not a full time gig, more likely freelance with some occasional time in the office, but still, it’s a REAL JOB with REAL ADULTS and I haven’t done that in almost four years. Yikes.
