Comments on: What is my bedtime strategy? (and other signs of “corporate seepage” in my house!) http://www.ltvmom.com/blog/just-let-me-lie-down/ Just trying to catch some TV between mothering, working, and crashing Wed, 08 Feb 2012 14:15:07 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: Heather http://www.ltvmom.com/blog/just-let-me-lie-down/#comment-1382 Heather Fri, 28 May 2010 04:39:34 +0000 http://www.ltvmom.com/?p=1328#comment-1382 I loved reading this post. I plan to check out the book as the strain of "balancing it all" is in high gear right now. Knowing (and reading about) other moms that encounter the same issues and guilty feelings, is a great coping strategy. I found myself bawling the other morning when my youngest got ready for his last day of preschool. I wondered "why" was I such a mess just because of preschool. I think it was just another reminder of how I often don't pay attention to "life" going on around me. I am so worried about getting something done, crossing something off a list, or hurrying somewhere, that I miss them, it, whatever, each day. I will add the book to my summer reading list. Thanks for sharing. I loved reading this post. I plan to check out the book as the strain of “balancing it all” is in high gear right now.

Love that your baby girl is already seeing a world full of opportunity and stretching her fantastic imagination. And I do think that comes from the example you guys are setting for her. Also, just added "Just Let Me Lie Down" to my must-read list. Thanks for sharing! ~J Great post, Stacy!

I wonder how much my home life lingo seeps in the workplace instead of the other way around. I often catch myself using my fake cuss words when I am frustrated at work. I like Sandy's advice above. Time is moving so fast, its good to be reminded to enjoy the life you are living! I will have to check the book out.

As a working mom who has spent the past winter season taking conference calls enroute to the pediatricians, breathing sighs of relief when I can put a child back to sleep at 5 am so I can get work done in peace, it was nice to be reminded that I am not alone. Ps can't wait to see that animal hospital and Bella wants to know if your daughter can design a pink mermaid house that doesn't allow little brothers! Stacy,

(That translates as = you inspire me). Loved seeing you! More please?

I have not read the book yet, but I think I will be able to relate to when my girls were making their own statements about life and the future. All three are successful individuals and it will be interesting for them to listen and watch their children grow up as I did. I hope everyone enjoys and remembers the special times, even though they are crazy once in awhile. As the mother of three grown daughters in their 30’s now, I will have to look back.

Although my husband and I aren't exactly corporate, our 9 year old daughter enjoys using the medical and sign lingo that are in our household. This makes me realize that maybe they do listen to us sometimes and really do, in fact, look up to us :) Great post!

Definitely funny and I can certainly relate.... I feel exactly that way when I get home sometimes... Although I love my career and what it does for others I often find myself wondering...When all is said and done...Will I say... I am so glad that I worked so hard and accomplished so much? or will I say...I wish I had spent more time with my kids...just a thought.

Great post Stacy. So glad to hear your princess isn't the only one who mimicks the corporate environment with her words and surroundings. I freaked out when Yvette used the word "appropriate" at the age of four and now talks to me about the day when she'll have "clients that make her work late at night." lol Still waiting for her to teach me about the"crisis of nine." :) Three cheers for working moms!
