Hey thanks for visiting. I'm so glad you like my post. You are so right about keeping our priorities in line. I personal know that when things get out of alignment (specifically God not being first) it all goes down hill and I have a little bit of chaos. I'm glad someone else can relate.

Great Post! Working Housewife...that is such a great explanation of most women in today's world. I work from home, while working on the home and taking care of a husband and 4 daughters. Anyone women that has a household to create and manage on a daily basis can agree with your post. Yes, we can exist without compromising, as long as we keep our priorities in line (God,Family,Self)

You are certainly right. Each woman is different and should do what's best in their heart. We each need to do what's right for our individual household. Thank you for your response.

Re: Customer Service Anyone?

It's a shame that there are some businesses that do not realize this. I have left an OB due to what I believe was horrible service. Thank goodness for those that truly believe in customer service and practice it.

Thanks for stopping by Nicole. Hope to see you here again!!!

Sorry I am responding so late, but you are certainly right. Butt cupping will definitely be there whenever I have nothing to talk about. So what have you been up to?

Stephanie,

I think it’s great that you have realized a places in your routine that’s causing your stress and taking the time to change it. I definitely need to put exercise back into my life. I feel so good when I do it. I also want to implement yoga back into my life as well. I too want my house to feel like a home and right now it’s just a house housing us in it. Keep us informed on how you will be making you house a home

I first want to congratulate you From the desk of….me on your engagement. It’s a wonderful thing and yes another title to add. I too am a wife, mom, step mom, as well as girlfriend and whatever else to keep our marriage. I understand about wearing all these titles. It can be confusing and down right depressing at times. I think it’s great that you have decided to do something for yourself once a month. That will definitely help you to get some time away and do something for yourself.

Great post Felicia. I agree working moms can easily lost in the “duties and work” of being mom and employee that we often lose ourselves. I’ve been working super hard to get to the point where I could work from home and realized I wasn’t taking care of me. So I recently started exercising, which is helping.

Then I took a hard look out our household and its a mess – everything is rush rush in the morning and at night so now I’m focusing on creating a better routine.

Next I’m going to work on creating a “home” for us. I mean we live in a house but it doesn’t feel like a “home” you know the place where you feel at peace when you walk in.

I know I’m just adding more work, but I’m just imagining the bliss that will come afterwards.

i appreciate your honesty. i, too, feel like i’m getting lost in my titles. it seems like all that i do is focused on being a mom, a girlfriend (just recently a fiance/bride-to-be/future stepmom/faux wife), and teacher. i don’t do anything for me. while i too enjoy keeping my house in order and my family happy, i desire to add something solely for myself. i have made a commitment to do at least one thing a month for ME, just ME. this month, i joined an online book club and am going to an all-day scrapbooking event. iudos for u, for reminding us to embrace the “new” 21st woman.

Customer Service is the key to a successful business. I'm with you on this wholeheartedly. I've switched my childs doctor due to this & left restaurants because of it. It'll even have me coming back for more( ei. my Starbucks addiction). There truely needs to be a Customer Service Revolution.

Thank you for your comment. It's nice to know that I am not the only one. I too am very surprised, annoyed and down right upset when a company treats me bad. It's almost as if they feel like hey don't need me (which is probably be true). What we must also realize is customer service is not only reserved for face to face experience and the telephone, but via email as well. Especially since our culture has been moving away from that personal touch. Now we must learn to send that personal touch through an impersonal device. Once again, thank you so much for your input.

I feel that good customer service is extremely important no matter what company you are dealing with and whether in person or by phone. It is very frustrating to have to deal with a company who has employees who are rude, rushing, and do not take the time to listen. I am very surprised at how many times I have dealt with huge companies by phone who have treated me terribly. This is why I try to make sure I offer excellent customer service to my clients. I deal mainly through email, but I think what makes me stand out above the rest is that I always try to get back to my clients in a timely manner.

Great post!

as a single mom, i don't have the option of not working outside of the home. however, my "big" goal is to work part time by the time my son enters kindergarten (in 2 years.) since i'm a teacher my work schedule is pretty managable and so i rarely feel like i don't spend enough time with my lil one. i think that each woman is different and should do what's in her heart. for me, an ideal situation would definitely be working part time. i really feel like it would be the best of both worlds.

Good luck with the diet and congratulations on your site - I will be following you. I have just started on the get fit thing by walking an hour a day. I live in beautiful rural France so it provides inspiration for my writing too. I found you through Theta moms. Hope you are catching up on some sleep!

So glad you had a chance to visit back home. I love that you call him wild sleeping manic baby. My daughter is 4, and she's the same! She's been that way all of her life.
Glad to hear the little man did well during all the traveling :)
