Another one to add to the Darwin award candidate short-list

This was not maternity leave. She took the minimum when her kids were born and was bored out of her mind with the first one. With the second she started working again when her baby was four days old. When she decided to do the sabbatical her kids were 10 and 8. It was supposed to be a year. She was enjoying it so much she asked for a second year and they said yes. But they cannot wait to get her back and she's pretty much getting whatever she wants when she goes back! So it did not hurt her at all. Though she's very smart and has worked for them since graduation and really made a name for herself there so that's all in her favor.

My best friend from college is currently on a leave from her job as a VP at big blue. She took off two years to hang out with her kids now ages 12 and 10. She's going back in a few months and figuring out what kind of job she wants to take. It hasn't hurt her at all, plus all of her stock options kept vesting while she was gone and the stock went up so she's in a very good spot. She really needed the break from the pressure, stress and travel and, being off, has enabled her to make some decisions about priorities and what she wants from her career. Something she couldn't do when in the midst of working all the time. Let me know if you want to talk to her.

25 Reasons I owe my mother: 1. My mother taught me TO APPRECIATE A JOB WELL DONE "If you're going to kill each other, do it outside. I just finished cleaning." 2. My mother taught me RELIGION "You better pray that this will come out of the carpet." 3. My mother taught me about TIME TRAVEL "If you don't straighten up, I'm going to knock you into the middle of next week!" 4. My mother taught me LOGIC "Because I said so, that's why." 5. My mother taught me MORE LOGIC "If you fall out of that swing and break your neck, you're not going to the store with me." 6. My mother taught me FORESIGHT "Make sure you wear clean underwear, in case you're in an accident." 7. My mother taught me IRONY "Keep crying and I'll give you something to cry about." 8. My mother taught me about the science of OSMOSIS "Shut your mouth and eat your supper." 9. My mother taught me about CONTORTIONISM "Will you look at that dirt on the back of your neck!" 10. My mother taught me about STAMINA "You'll sit there until all that spinach is gone." 11. My mother taught me about WEATHER "This room of yours looks as if a tornado went through it." 12. My mother taught me about HYPOCRISY "If I told you once, I've told you a million times. Don't exaggerate!" 13. My mother taught me the CIRCLE OF LIFE "I brought you into this world, and I can take you out." 14. My mother taught me about BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION "Stop acting like your father!" 15. My mother taught me about ENVY "There are millions of less fortunate children in this world who don't have wonderful parents like you do." 16. My mother taught me about ANTICIPATION "Just wait until we get home." 17. My mother taught me about RECEIVING "You are going to get it when you get home!" 18. My mother taught me MEDICAL SCIENCE "If you don't stop crossing your eyes, they are going to freeze that way." 19. My mother taught me ESP "Put your sweater on; don't you think I know when you are cold?" 20. My mother taught me HUMOR "When that lawn mower cuts off your toes, don't come running to me." 21. My mother taught me HOW TO BECOME AN ADULT "If you don't eat your vegetables, you'll never grow up." 22. My mother taught me GENETICS "You're just like your father." 23. My mother taught me about my ROOTS "Shut that door behind you. Do you think you were born in a barn?" 24. My mother taught me WISDOM "When you get to be my age, you'll understand." 25. And my favorite: My mother taught me about JUSTICE "One day you'll have kids, and I hope they turn out just like you."

The comma was left out on purpose. But since you asked where the chocolate ladies are, I found one for you.

Thanks, Sherri. :kisss: It was interesting reading about the incident at Red Rocks and the feedback she got on her report.

That's funny, Porter! Loved the two paw walking.

Oops! It was a busy day, but that's no reason for me to forget kisses. Here ya go, sweetie! :kisss: :kisss: :kisss: :kisss: :kisss: :kisss: :kisss: :kisss: :kisss: :kisss: :kisss: Am I forgiven? :kisss:

Here's a link to a preview of the CF kids video. It shows you the kind of stuff that's done in a class.

Thanks for the link, Sherri!

Saturday - give my sore muscles a rest from all the crossfit and gym climbing I did this week. Little League Game in the morning and an Entertaining 101 auction buy-in party this afternoon where I get to learn how to make tasty appetizers and beautiful flower arrangements. Sunday - ??? I'm not in charge of the plans though I put in enough hints that I really wanted to spend Mother's Day skiing. But my parents called unexpectedly yesterday to say they were driving back from the coast to spend the weekend at home and heading back on Monday so who knows what we'll be doing now.

Thanks. I'll add it to my reader! Hmm. That's odd about the YouTube videos. They are usually straightforward if you just paste the embedded code. I use them all the time. Then again I use blogger so it's pretty much idiot proof. Not even I can mess it up unless I try really, really hard. And then I just email my webmistress to fix whatever I did wrong. Good luck figuring the youtube thing out.

I see the AAI has one. Does anyone else or can you recommend any good ones? Just looking to add some climbing blogs to my google reader. Thanks!

WTG Tim and Donnie! Great pics.

Enjoyed the TR, KKK! Thanks. And please do post pics if you get them. Never been there so I'd like to see what you were writing about

Stilettos and leather corsets are easy to find. She's probably working on getting the mask

Could you add the TR button/form to the Kids forum so we could post family trip reports there since that's really the audience interested in them.

It's going great, Selkirk. Thanks for asking. Chaos is an awesome dog. Amazing with the kids. Really anyone she meets. She's a total sweetie who just wants a lot of attention and love. It was so cute. Last week she had a total blonde moment when she caught a glimpse of her reflection in the glass on the fireplace. She started barking at herself and ran in front of my oldest to protect her from the dog she'd seen. Of course, the three cats aren't happy about the situation. This pic, sums up their feelings exactly: I'm hoping it gets better. Lots of growling and hissing from the felines. Chaos just wants to be friends with them but so far that hasn't gone over very well. But it's been very entertaining. So funny to see the cats no longer hissing at each other and banding together to do recon missions to check Chaos' whereabouts. My hubby who has never had a dog in his life has even fallen for her. It was definitely the right time and the right dog for us! And if not for this thread, I would have never found out about the breed and contacted the NW rescue coordinator and ended up with Chaos. I owe Sobo big time for his post :kisss:

Don't try this at pub club.

Yep, you were ready to take them on, and Badvoodoo had your back though you didn't know it. I wish I'd taken a picture of that look on his face. And those kids. Classic!

Right on all accounts except he was a climber before we got married. Alpine, not rock. I introduced him to that. But he's hot and spoils me rotten so I don't mind yanking on that halter when I have to Luv ya, too, Sobo :kisss:

Congrats, cp! Great pics. Love the trees behind the altar!

That's really where you took me climbing???!!! I still remember the idiots scrambling to the top and the call to the police! Not to mention the cute jail bait flirting with you;)
