Hi Eileen! Thank you for finding me, us geek moms have to stick together. My moment to moment organization is toast, but my todo list is where I keep my stuff in order to make sure the important things get done, maybe, hopefully, someday LOL!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Lol - the chaos finally wore me down. I used to be a highly organized person, but after children and a family business, I&#039;ve fallen far. Oops. Ehem. Hi, I&#039;m Eileen and found you after reading Kristen Lamb&#039;s book. I&#039;m a geek mom, too, and really enjoy reading your POV here. 

You have a really difficult job and the kids are lucky to have someone who obviously cares. I&#039;ve heard too many sad stories of folks in the system who don&#039;t.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[What an important job you have, Alica. Thanks for doing what you do!

I&#039;ve worked on being more mindful since my early twenties. It&#039;s so important, I feel, and difficult to manage in our current go-go-go times. It&#039;s also tough for me personality-wise, as activity calms me. I love what you said about not making promises. I think many of us over-commit and end up disappointing ourselves and others. 

Hope your week&#039;s off to a brilliant start!]]></description>
