Fortunately nothing so dramatic for me! A "few" years back, my wise hubby organised an amazing surprise 40th for me. What I thought would be an intimate dinner for about 8, turned out to be a dinner dance for about 50, including many who had travelled to the island of Jersey from the UK and the US. Once I realised the scope of the attendees, my first words were "I don't have enough food in the house to feed all these people!" So maybe not "mommy mode" but definitely "hostess mode". We still laugh about this. Yes, this definitely strikes a cord! Fortunately nothing so dramatic for me!

My tribulations cannot compare, but I've thought about the mommy juggling act this week as Jack and Sam have been home sick all week with the flu, so between catering to them, trying to conduct a few conference calls and get a few work things done, placing ads in various places to find a home for a rooster, blog writing, and trying to figure out a last minute gift for my Mom's 75th (was supposed to be with her until the boys got sick) have occupied my moments this week!
