Orange Sippy Cup

Hi, my name is Amy and I'm a mom. Welcome to my little corner of the blogging world. I've worked at Scholastic for the past four years and my daughter turned two in August.

Here's what being a working mom means to me today:

• There's an orange sippy cup sitting on my desk (it's empty because I used the milk H didn't drink on the subway ride to daycare in my morning coffee -- who am I to waste organic 2%?)
• I'm missing half a day of work next week because the fabulous preschool in our neighborhood requires half an hour of supervised play as part of the application process. That half an hour begins at 11:45am, which causes me to wonder, if I were free at 11:45am on a weekday, why would I need preschool?
• And finally, I've got to get back to my to-do list because in approximately three hours I get the big hug and the delighted squeal of "Mommy!" and I'll probably get to play with play dough and stomp around like a dinosaur for a couple of hours. This makes everything worth it. 

That's my story. What's yours? I'd love to hear from you.
