Oh, Lord. We have had some sickness around here. It's taken about 3 weeks, but FINALLY, everyone in the house is healthy and back to school or work. I am really hoping that next year the twins will be immune to most of this crud, so we won't be in danger of becoming a CDC super fund site.
I've also decided not to try to combine this blog into a professional blog. I would love to have a fancy pants professional blog to talk about my take on technology, psychology, and parenting research/news. But I can't do it any time soon. And I'm afraid if I did it, I would most certainly put a stake in the heart of this blog. I like the Mother thing. And although I don't post much on it, and I certainly don't get the readers I used to, I need a little space of my own. It sounds very Virginia Wolff-ish, doesn't it? Eh, well. So be it.
In any case, I do see this blog moving more towards working mother issues and perhaps working mother in academia issues.
I still need to blog about a mid-career/work-life balance workshop I went to in January (JANUARY) and had some great insights on the "tolerations" in my life. (I keep calling them haterations).
The problem is as an associate professor with a big(ger) house and three kid---I not going to be able to find the time. I'm going to have to take it.
Your blog will *always* be interesting, Anita, no matter what direction you choose to take it. I/mom think it's great that it continues to reflect who *you* are -- a fatigued (Ok, yes, you've had a little blog-fatigue of late) fragmented, interesting, multi-tasking, professional, mom of multiples. For a place of your own, this is perfect :-)
