...and where did the time go? I'm a full time marketing professional, full time mother of an-almost-one-year-old and two dogs, full time wife of a high school assistant football coach. Wasn't it just yesterday I was living the dream pursuing a career, fresh wedding band on my finger, and a bubbly smile? Time changes us. Time went by and I now have a handsome son named Thomas Jr, still sporting that shiny wedding band!

As I reach out to Mommy resources for advice and babbling I often wonder how some bloggers are so upbeat through the exhaustion. Well here's my story. I'm tired yet still filled with joy. I have rough moments but they don't define me. And what I'd like to share with you is the rough moments. Those times when things get tough. And we keep them bottled up inside. Juggling this lifestyle is not easy. And people may tell you otherwise. But it's time we stand up and let people know that we hold on to our rough patches just as we do our most cherished memories with pride!

This is an open and honest account of a working mom's trials and tribulations.
