Anyone else ever ski Sky Valley? Used to be the only *ski resort* in Georgia.

Not hatin’, just sayin’– the thought of a full Thanksgiving leftovers plate at 8:00 am gives me the tummyrumbles…

Thank you Thank you! Lots of good things to think about here. I’m fortunate to work at a pretty family-oriented place, but I’d still imagine it will be tough to balance (like you mention). I’m optimistic it will all work itself out, too. Thanks!

How wonderful. Congratulations. Consider pregnancy/birth yoga at the Pierce Yoga Institute in Virginia Highland–truly wonderful, even if you’re not normally into yoga. Something will work out daycare wise, even if you have to modify your hours or get a babysitter for an hour or two. I know that some jobs are not family friendly but if there’s any mothers of young children at your work, they must be facing similar daycare hour issues. It’s a rare daycare that’s open beyond 6 or 6:30 PM. It’s tough because us working moms all know that a mom who gets in early, is efficient, and leaves early is just as productive as the workaholics who come in late and/or take long lunches and/or chit chat a lot. But unfortunately a lot of the folks in charge are the inefficient workaholic types who think you’re not dedicated if you don’t stay late every night and come in on weekends. It’s hard to address work/life balance issues with them without inspiring defensiveness and/or martyrdom on their part.
