Friday Morning Commute

So in my efforts to blog more consistently I am penning this entry in the notepad of my blackberry while waiting for and riding the subway. Listening to the free coldplay download I heard about from coldplay themselves on twitter and I think back to the quote I read yesterday from the creator of firefox: most people spend more time with their browser than their families. It's an appropriate thought for friday in a working mom's life. By friday even in a holiday week I am ready to leave work behind and engage with my kids in a real way. 

This morning max asked if it was a mommy daddy day rather than a rhonda day. I had to tell him no. It made me sad. But we need the money but more importantly I need the career. I am more grounded in both halves of my life because of the duality of it. Where is the me half or the wife half? They get scheduled in and fight like hell to co-exist with the bullying work/kids duo. 

Nobody said this was going to be easy; but nothing compares to love of my big kid and the snuggles and huge smiles of the little one and they sustain the feast or famine rhythm of the week until yet another sacred weekend.

Got off the subway to a misty Bryant Park, looks like London... made me very nostalgic.

Been a long time, been to Vegas! Have not a memory of it... ok not true but might as well be. Just a quick note to say, Charlie is kinda sleeping through the night (7 p-5:45a) and work is great but it is summer and I just want to lie on the grass with the kids and count clouds.
