So many working moms are in this situation; some aren't just contributing to the household income, they are the household income. As daunting of a task as this can be, women step up and do it everyday, but how? These are a few keys to help you balance your life as a mom and a professional. Choose Your Battles
Whether your are at work or at home, fighting every bit of opposition that comes hurling your way will send you straight to a place with padded walls and no door knobs. Really evaluate what
Cheap Packers Jerseys From China is important to you. At work, lay out your goals for the day, and if the issue that arises does not affect one of those goals, let it go. Don't sweat it. I know it is easier said, but your day will be easier in the long run. At home, discern whether or not that particular behavior that you are correcting or the situation that got out of hand truly violates the way that you want your child raised or the way you want your house run. Are you redirecting simply because you heard on TV that children weren't supposed to do that? Choose your battles to make sense of your life. Every child is different and so is every household. Try not to get caught up in the unnecessary details.
You need to know what's coming next and so do your children. Notice I didn't say a schedule. Schedules leave no room for flexibility, and, once deviated from, are totally worthless.

Be Available
Yes, dinner needs to be started; yes, the kitchen should be cleaned, but those things won't change in the span of five to ten minutes. Be available to

Avoid Bringing Work Home
Practice ways of being diligent and efficient at work,so that taking work home is not an option. Having already spent 8 hours wholeheartedly devoting your time to your job, you should be focusing the next few hours wholeheartedly devoting to your family.
Be Prepared
At work, lay out the materials that you will need for the next day, call whoever needs to be called, and fill out whatever needs to be filled out. At home, lay out the children's clothes for in the morning, make lunches the night before, and set out everything that you will need for yourself. It is definitely more work when the kids go down to sleep, but the 15 minutes you spend on it will be made up for in the hour that you save the next morning.
