In honor of SNOW DAY, here are two old photos. My mom, with our family dog Brutus (Emily, Ginger and Courtney, you will re-call the recent story about this sweet dog). Also, a picture of my beautiful sister Pam back in the snow, when we lived in Illinois!
We are all very excited that it is snowing, for us it is a novelty and so beautiful. Catherine is looking forward to sledding tomorrow AM. What a place to live, where Thursday it is 62 degrees and Friday we are having Winter Blast 2010!
Today, there seemed to be a lot on my plate and I got to thinking it would be so nice to have a "domestic intern." Doesn't this make so much sense? I could have them do some of the menial, tedious tasks that I just feel like I cannot fit in the day. Certainly, they'd come in handy for childcare too, but really they could even make phone calls for me and other work associated tasks - not to mention run an errand or two for me. Seems like a great idea and I am thinking I may start this program at the local high school. Interns are great, because unlike an assistant, you don't have to pay them, but they earn by the fact that this is a learning experience. It may keep today's young women in school much longer and have them more driven to succeed. It may even increase the percentage of women going for a Masters degrees or a Doctorates?
Enjoy the snow!
