The week is finally at a close...well the nine to five work week! For those who knew me well, and actually you probably don't realize, I will rephrase, my husband and I know, that part two of my life begins after 6pm...I take off my radio sales/marketing hat and put on my executive coach/behavioral analyst/student/support group leader/dishwasher/lunch maker/dog walker/fitness guru (sometimes) and of course blog writer and reader hat. (PS, to my sister, I just realized that the list making was kinda like your last blog post, just happened that way.) So bottom line, there are very few evenings where I just veg out in front of the television. My husband usually hijacks the plasma 42 incher -which is actually fine as that was his xmas gift last year, or was it birthday?....yes, it was his birthday gift. When I gave it to him I said although it is in a common area, no matter what, you get first choice of tv watching. So back to my point. My after work work life is full. Before I know it it is 11pm, not late for some (Susan) but I wake up at the latest 6am, and it is a long day. I have been going to bed lately at closer to 12midnight. I am beat by Friday. I love all the work I am doing, so that doesn't matter, but the proverbial expression, I need more hours is a day truly applies. And yes, when Lia-Rose arrives, my life/work plan will revolve around her. I am a working mom. I have to say I am not sure I could have it any other way, financially and otherwise, it is what I want....and what it is. Sorry for typos, typing on my blackberry. This weekend is the support group waiting family fall group gathering. I have assembled three panelists-Jeff Gammage author of China Ghost; Dr. Goldstein, international pediatric specialist; and Susan S, psychologist and attachment expert. I have close to forty rsvp's. My sister and niece Hayley are coming up along with Hayley's friend Hallie, to help with a kids area we will have, including face painting! Jeff, lives near my folks so he bringing them! Plus travel group mates Audrey and Jeff, who I can not wait to meet! After the event we are having some people back to our home for Chinese food! Lot to get together over the next 24 hours, but most of it is done. I have done event planning for the last 15 years or so, I have a good system of how I get things done. Anyway, the weary never rest, as someone once said! - if u are in NJ tomorrow come to the event! Ps- I did take a break last nite for an hour...Greys Anatomy!

Addendum:
Ok…a little upset…and I know she didn’t mean it….
We were having a moment at work….there is a gas leak in the building next store and rumor was that the gas was leaking into our building. Everybody started to panic.
One man said,”I have two kids and I gotta go” …I said, yeah “I’m expecting!” He said, really, and this young woman I work with this “she isn’t really”…I said yes I am …I am expecting a baby just like anyone else who is pregnant. I am adopting…I am expecting.” She apologized. Ps There is no gas at this point….oy vey.
