I just watched a newsclip covering your conference this past monday and had to visit you site. I am living life in the Onramp right now!!! I could so relate. Anyway.... I enjoyed your blog. I have alot of friends who ask me "how do you manage" and think that I have it all together because my 3 girls are so beautiful and so smart. I told one friend just today, that I manage better now that I accept that my life no longer has anything to do with "me". I sacrifce so much to make sure their lives are fulfilled. I stress alot because my husband is no help, I never really get any "downtime" and it takes a toll. But I press on. I envy friends who have their parents or siblings who help them out regularly. The friends who can go on vacation and leave the kids behind. I can only apply for jobs that are within a certain radius from my house because I have to be the one to drop off and pick up the kids. Anyway.... I just wanted to say I think your organization is great!! There is definitely a forum for this. If you start a chapter in Chicago please send me an email.... although I probably won't be able to make the meetings because I NEVER get a SITTER!!!! (sorry, got a little excited). Keep up the good work!! I’m in Chicago. I just watched a newsclip covering your conference this past monday and had to visit you site. I am living life in the Onramp right now!!! I could so relate.
