I have 4 kids in 3 schools and run a business from home. I always try and make sure everyone around me knows that so that they won't judge me too harshly when I inevitably fail to be Super Mom. It doesn't matter how organized I am nor how well I plan ahead, there are things that are out of my control. Still I know very well that it is even harder when both parents work outside the home. For example, this year on the 1st snow day I kept my 10yo out of school and we went to the all the buy her boots. She informed me at 9:00 the previous evening that they were too small after assuring me a couple of weeks prior that ALL her winter stuff from last year still fit. If I had had to be at an office by 9:00am she would have gone to school in her running shoes in 6in of snow. That's life. Shit happens.
