As a full time working mother and wife, I sometimes feel like there isn't enough hours in the day to get the zillion & one tasks that I have to do before hitting the bed. Sometimes I just have to laugh at myself and wonder when will it all get done. Based on the critically acclaimed best seller by Allison Pearson, "I Don't Know How She Does It" hits theaters this Friday September 16th. I've seen the previews and this movie looks hysterical!
Here is a brief synopsis:
Kate Reddy (Parker) devotes her days to her job with a Boston-based financial management firm. At night she goes home to her adoring, recently downsize architect husband Richard (Kinnear) and their two young children. Its a non stop balancing act, the same one that Kate's acerbic best friend and fellow working mother Allison (Christina Hendricks) performs on a daily basis and that Kate's super brainy child-phobic young young junior associate Momo (Olivia Munn) fully intends to avoid. When Kate gets handed a major new account that will require frequent trips to New York, Richard also wins the new job he's been hoping for and both will be spreading themselves even thinner. Complicating matters is Kate's charming new business associate Jack Abelhammer (Brosnan), who begins to prove an unexpected source of temptation.
One lucky reader will win a copy of this best selling novel & a movie poster!

Hi I am a Mom of 7 year old twin boys and a 3 year old girl - plus I work full time - I don't actually know how I do it - I just do it and somehow it all gets done.

You do what you have to. I was going to school full time while working 3 part time jobs and raising three kids. When I look back on it I wonder how I did it. You really don't think about it, you just do what you have to.

Lots of organization! I get up early to be ready for my kids, not wake up to my kids and try to maintain some balance!

I do what I can and hope it is enough.. :) I am sort of kidding. I have a lot of health stuff and 3 kids plus one on the way. We live in Georgia and have no family. My husband works full time management for a large shipping co and is a full time law school student. So, in short live gets really really crazy. Between homework, church stuff and doctors appointments some days I am not sure if I am coming or going. Somehow it gets done and if not, then that is ok. I have come to understand that I am doing the best that I can and it is enough. My kids are loved and they are happy and that is what matters. :)

Wine! :) Actually I just do the best I can and try not to beat myself up over the things that don't get done.
I work 2 jobs (one full time out of the home and one part time in the home) and I have 11 and 14 year olds. I get things done by sticking to a routine schedule and things work out pretty well most of the time. abailey_crace@yahoo.com
