It feels that way, anyway. Thank you for this series...I really am looking forward to picking up some sort of tip: even one would help.

Then again, mothers have been searching for a work life balance for, well, forever. I like to think of us ALL as professional jugglers. Also, I love Selfish Mom's comment (she's very very smart!)

And thinking about what I want to write, I'm struck by the fact that much of my success has a mom has been based on not giving a crap about what other people think as much as possible. Not sure how that happened, but OMG I'm glad it did. So happy to be part of this!

Or it does, and then it changes. Sometimes I take great pleasure and comfort from coming to the office, other times I am enraged that I can never be there for my kids' activities. Full time work, plus a commute, plus managing a kid with special needs leaves very little time for myself. I look forward to reading more. I don’t think balance truly exists.

When my children were babies, I wrote about what happened when I tried to do both at once for Working Mother magazine. http://bit.ly/zMA73I . The piece was called "My So-Called Career," and it tells the story of what happened the day that I was home with the kids and Francis Ford Coppola called. Now that my daughters are teens (one in college), I still feel drawn between work and minding the children. It never ends! I look forward to reading the dialog you're planning.

I just received a pitch for a promotion for a movie of the same name. Good job! Don't pull out your hair - they'll be grown soon, and you'd be sad if you were bald by then.
