A Working Mother

Last week I got an interesting Direct Message @ Twitter, to join a research regarding working mothers by Riky Cohen.
I got Riky attentions after I wrote in twitter "that's it for today, going to pick up my kids and start with my second job which is my primary job :-)".
We had a pleasant telephone call, where Riky presented her wish to expose the world of a working mother running from day job number one to day job number two.
This is so familiar to me, since my kids were born, I am in a constant fine-tuning between the need & wish to be with my kids, be part of their life and the wish to develop and grow professionally.
The action item from my side was quite simple, to record log of all my actions during one day. It was weird to record my actions; it makes you think about the actions you are so used to do, almost in an automatic pilot. I realized how lucky I am to have the chance to work in a company that respect the family life, and encourage the balance between work and home.
Although I have to travel frequency, during the past 8 years I feel comfortable with the challenges I received at work and with the time I spend with my kids.
I admit the first two years as a mother, was not so simple, several times I had doubts regarding my role as a mother comparing my duties at work, but only while experiencing I could find my golden path.
I thank Riky for stopping me in my constant running and reviewing my daily actions, some of them I already changed for better use of my time…

How did you find your golden path?
