Piper Down!

So, I have finally managed to catch the sickness that has been milling around these parts. I feel like crap, but it has definately been worse (once you have two 9.5 pound babies naturally nothing else seems that bad).

Parenting while been sick is by far my least favorite thing (besides parenting with a hangover - which I've only done once and quickly learned that my vodka days were far behind me. Besides, I felt like a total loser!). I have learned to be easier on myself when I plug the girls into the TV so I can think about only one thing at a time, because as many of you know when you are your own boss & only employee there is no one else to take orders to the post office, take extra fabric to the manufacturers, or order more frickin' snaps.

When I am in peak form I can run Woobee Kids and parent my girls without even thinking twice. I have mastered making errands fun for all, cooking dinner and emailing symentariously, and have my girls believing driving 1/2 hour to one of my sewers house is actually a treat - she has a little dog they love. Anyway, enough complaining.

Check out the Northwest Enterprising Moms web site. It is a wonderful non-profit just starting out to help support moms that own/run their own companies. We are getting quite the roster of experienced business moms. We are having an amazing event in November...fashion show, vendors, kids kick butt craft area, etc. Anyway, I am the current vice president of the org and really think it is going to be a wonderful help to moms all over the world.

Hi! I found your blog from the Seattle mom blog website (which I'm trying to join and haven't gotten in yet, wah). Are you THAT woobee? I got a blanket as a shower gift and I LOVE it LOVE it LOVE it. Totally the best gift I got. Magic. Bubba is nearly one and we still use it all the time. Good work!
