1. The Bible
- He gives me strength, hope, and love. I give it to him everyday.
- Plus my church and small group keep me reminded of his grace and mercy.
- I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world. John 16:33
2. The Nanny
- Yes, I have a college student who comes to my home and helps us get the kids to school and home from school. Especially since they go to school 25 miles from home.
- Yes, she spends the night when I am traveling.
- Yes, she folds laundry.
- Yes, I have a crush on her;)
3. The Coffee
- Or the Diet Mt. Dew, or Diet Coke. What ever it takes to keep me awake.
- Also those little 5 hour energy drinks when it has been an exceptionally long work day and I have about 43 things to get done at home too.
4. The Wine
- I am pretty sure this keeps me from killing someone. Or myself. It takes me to my happy place.
- Plus I have to support our grape farmers in this country. Where would they be with out my business. Economic development at its finest.
5. The Kids
- After all they are the reason I work the much. I just remember that they are functional, happy children who have learned to go with the flow. They deal with change beautifully because they don’t know life without change.
- And they are so stinking cute!
6. The Husband
- Let’s be honest, I couldn’t have a career and children without the support and help from my husband. I am thankful he supports my career habit.
- He also makes me laugh which keeps it real.
7. The Vacation to Napa Valley in November
- With my friends from college. One of which is finishing up her PhD at Berkley. Yeah, I am friends with someone who is getting the PhD at Berkley. I am as shocked as you are!!
- We are taking the husbands/boyfriends along. I hope we remember it;)
8. The Exercise
- I have been doing Power 90 and then got the stupid idea to buy Jackie Warner’s Power Circuit Training. It is a working mom’s dream…15 minute workouts.
- Be warned you may not make it off the floor at the end of 15 minutes.
9. The Lack of Time to have a insanity flash
- Really, who has time to lose it? I have soccer and Sunday school and newsletters and board meetings and trade shows and…
10. The Pills
- Let’s just say Trazadone to sleep and…
- Lorazepam so my insides don’t explode.
- Some day I will not need them, but until I am independently wealthy don’t expect it.

Leah You wear me out just reading your blog. I hear you are very good at your job.
the Bible… check and diet coke.. i'm in love!!!
thanks for joining in! and yes, your kids ARE adorable!
lol .. pretty funny. You are a busy woman!!! have a great thursday
Great post. I've taken a short break from exercise and feel terrible because of it. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for your sweet comment! I can't wait to look around some more over here.
I'm so jealous of your nanny. And I could not live without my daily coffee. Or wine.
I knew we were sisters in another life. I have have had both those pills in my medicine cabinet, and I am sure I would have more if I had a job that took me out of the house. You Go Girl.
California? Way Cool! Berklely PhD friend? Way Cool. I now have visions of flower children dancing in my head.
Gotta go clean my sink now. Check out today's blog
You crack me up! You are quite the busy woman – good to know you're keeping sane and you haven't killed anyone yet!
Coffee, diet dew, wine….WOW what a wonderful life you have. Can I join you?
Might I suggest Lexapro…works wonders!
Love this. Good to review how we survive life.. and so good to share. I think wine will be making a huge comeback in my life very soon… for the farmers, you know.
What a great post. I wouldn't be sane if I didn't have friends like you that understood the craziness of my life and let me just say I am so jealous you are going to Napa. I can't wait to hear all about it.
P.S. Boo and Princess are adorable and let me know when you find me a nanny.
