Doctor's appointments took over in the afternoon, and then settling everyone in afterwards, plus a little downtime, knocked me off schedule. <br /><br /> I hear that so many of us are shy, and so many of us are fierce moms.

I'd been working at the same company for over 30 years, so it was a big change for me.
