This is the title of a new book by Dr. Laura that I am reading. It is really good. I recommend everyone read it even if you're not a stay at home mom. It really has great ideas on making your family a priority. I am even having Todd read it. On Tue. Todd is taking me to see her show In Praise of Mom. She's doing it live in Irvine Ca., and it will be broadcast to theaters all over the US. We won't see her live but that's ok, I've already been to one of her live shows. Is anyone else reading or planning on reading the book or going to the show? Let me know what you think.
I really admire Dr. Laura's views on the importance of family. In her view, a stay at home mom is someone who is home when her kids are home, even if she has to work evenings when her kids are asleep. When Dr. Laura's son was little, she was there with him during the day and worked nights when her son was asleep. When he was old enough to go to school, she worked when he was at school.
During the early years of her marriage, they only had one car, so her and her son would go places by bike.
From her, I get the message to work your schedule around your family and not your family around your schedule.

Thanks for the tip off on your blog! I love reading other people's blogs. As for Dr. Laura-I know lots of people who love her, but I've never heard her except for 2 times when a friend of mine posted a 2 minute radio conversation of a caller. She's pretty blunt & funny.
If your family's a priority-all the rest takes its place. I have 5 adult children now, but my husband & I made each other the priority. I can't tell you how glad I am that we did that cuz when the trials got hard with our kids-we had each other. When they leave. We still have each other. Our marriage is rock solid & the love we have keeps expanding. Let us know how the show was.
