Have you been Mommy Track’d?

Mommy Track’d

Are you on the mommy track?  If so, you should check out Mommy Track’d: The working mother’s guide to managed chaos.  Their mission is to provide a helpful and entertaining resource for all the time-crunched moms managing the daily tug of war between work and family.  I know we can all use some entertainment to get us through the day sometimes!  If you are a multi-tasker like I tend to be (or sometimes have no choice but to be) this site is for you. 

My 4 1/2 year old son has been sick the last couple of days so I’m trying to get as much done while he takes a nap and watches the TV shows he never gets to see during the day such as Go Diego Go, Handy Manny, Little Einsteins, and the Backyardigans.  Yesterday he felt pretty bad so he mostly wanted me to sit with him while he watched the shows.  So I, too, got my Playhouse Disney and Nick Jr. fix!  He is much better today and has been bouncing off of the walls most of the time.  He’s taking a nap right now so I have a chance to work on this blog post without being interrupted every 30 seconds.  Earlier today he told me his head hurt when he talks so I told him not to talk.  He laughed and then said ‘not really, I’m kidding.’ For him ‘not talking’ is equivalent to ‘not breathing.’ 😀

I recently signed up for Mommy Track’d’s email newsletter and am looking forward to getting some entertaining ideas on what to do when one of our kids is home sick in the future.  It’s free to sign up for the email newsletter, you get valuable information, and if you are so overextended that you can’t even read straight you can unsubscribe easily and re-subscribe when it works for you.  At any rate, you should at least check out thier Hot Topics page and browse through their Message Boards.

The reason for the birth of Mommy Track’d : “While there are countless general parenting resources available today, we think working moms need a place to call their own. These juggling, struggling women have careers, families and friends. Some might even say they have a version of “it all.” What they didn’t have until now is an informative, fun website that speaks just to them. Now they do.”  Oh so true!  As they say, ‘it takes a village’ and us moms (whether working for pay or not – all moms work hard!) should always try to support each other so we can help make the world a better place!

    Sorry your son was sick. It really is tough to keep those kids still when they are sick. I keep asking my Mom, what did you do with us before videos and Tivo and you had to get stuff done. What did you do with us when we were sick.

    I remember watching some TV but nothing decent was ever on when I was sick. I remember looking at books and my Mom making tons of activities on the pull-out couch in the living room. We played a lot of go-fish, but thats about all I remember.

    Please post on your blog if you find out something good for activities when the kids are sick.
