Pink Think: “Nobody objects to a woman being a good writer or sculptor or geneticist if at the same time she manages to be a good wife, good mother, good looking, good tempered, well groomed and unaggressive.” – Leslie McIntyre
My husband’s job description is cut and dried. He’s a veterinarian, and he treats sick animals and keeps healthy animals from getting sick.
For a school project, my 13 year old daughter plans to shadow him around Groundhog Day.(Get it? Groundhog day, shadow?)
I teased my daughter that she should shadow me. “You can watch me type on the computer all day,” I offered.
She said, “It’s okay. I do that already anyway.”

When people ask me what I do, I usually say stay-at-home mom, even though a majority of the time, the kids are out of the house during the day, and I am usually writing my little heart out.
Or querying agents, as the case has been the last two weeks.
Apparently, my daughter’s noticed, too. On a brochure she is making for a class about herself, she wrote to describe me: “She is a stay-at-home mom. She writes for magazines, and she is trying to find an agent for her novel.”
I wasn’t sure what she was going to say, but that sounds about right.
