Bring your kid to work day

Aka, low parent productivity day. 

The kids came to work with me for the first time this week. They had a great time, surprisingly. It helped that there were several other kids there who they could hang out with, i.e. play minecraft. Sam especially enjoyed the geekiness of it. They learned how to hack a firewall, write code and build a redundant data center. Everyone was impressed with Sam's interest, including me.

Sam's primary complaint was the dress code. "I can work just as well in my jeans," he declared. Good luck fighting that battle for the rest of your life, buddy. 

All in all, it was a great day!

What do you do?

Kate says to me tonight, "mom, what do you do with your free time?"

I said, "what do you mean by free time?"

"You know, after you make dinner clean it up, take me to practice..."

"Read with you, start laundry, put you to bed, prepare dinner for tomorrow and lunches for school. Well, then I guess I used to read. Or watch tv. Or work out. But usually I just go to bed."

Lol! The life of a working mom!
