Parenthood

This weekend I made a concerted effort to be present.  As a working mom, this is not always easy to do or, should I say, be.  What does this have to do with the company, well, it has to do with my perspective as a mom.  Knowing full well that I can't always be there and can't always watch over the boys shoulders, but it's teaching them right from wrong and proper behavior when I am around them.  We all went trick-or-treating on Friday and I found myself saying, "Say thank you" about a million times...but eventually they caught on :-)
It was a fun night, sugar melt down and all.  Last night we had a family game night and today took in the zoo.  Definitely a "present" weekend.  Enjoyed the extra hour and felt like the weekend didn't just disappear into oblivion for a change.  Here's to more like this one!  
Also, read a great blog post on Weblogg-ed.com about online behavior and who's fault it is.  I'm really glad to see educators discussing this issue.  I'd be glad to share, with anyone interested, a sample of our curriculum so teacher's can get idea of exactly how we approach this issue.
