For a fresh take on building strong careers and families, check out Getting to 50/50 -- on how men and women share roles with all sorts of good results -- including a healthier sex life. The book also debunks some common myths that cause many moms to back away from their jobs. Authors Sharon Meers (a Goldman MD now in tech) and Joanna Strober (a private equity exec) share their often funny tales of combining work and family. Definitely a book worth checking out. www.gettingto5050.blogspot.comManpreet Kalrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06929796786024256698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7716564847065501103.post-43134470725433181552010-05-16T17:51:11.944-04:002010-05-16T17:51:11.944-04:00I just can't understand why you're not #1 ...I just can't understand why you're not #1 humor blog: you crack me up! :):)<br />Even though I don't work outside the home....I catch myself having a hard time switching gears as well!

I've had that happen too--wrote a post on how to get the poop smell off hands. <br /><br />Kim-hahahaha! I do that too. Narrate things when I don't have to. <br /><br />Kt moxie-I can only imagine the music I will be forced to listen to in the years to come. Hopefully, it will not be the same one song on repeat. <br /><br />post mommy, I know exactly what you mean. People without kids just don't understand sometimes. I know I didn't fully understand until I had my own. <br /><br />Justine, nice to meet you. I look forward to reading your momalon post. <br /><br />adrial, thankfully, I did get out of the ticket. <br /><br />Krista, Jen, tractor mom, yes, it is plain crazy!<br /><br />Cindy, voting for your baby too : ) Thanks for being so awesome : )Melodramommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09808514174221430781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7716564847065501103.post-19732822984960279862010-05-14T15:56:39.379-04:002010-05-14T15:56:39.379-04:00silly billy gum drop birds.

Like at the grocery store I'll be narrating, "let's get some nice juicy grapes" and it's only after a hundered people look at me oddly do I realize that I don't have a kid with me! :)<br />Kim<br />http://kimmiekuhl-babyfeet.blogspot.comKimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12332881929703403783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7716564847065501103.post-36894649509171875702010-05-13T16:09:30.733-04:002010-05-13T16:09:30.733-04:00I love the part about still listening to kid music...I love the part about still listening to kid music when you are alone, oooppps, I do this!
