Why I march

We all don't have to stand tall at the exact same time. But some of us do have to do it now. And Saturday is my turn.

I spend about half my time as someone I half-jokingly, and with a wink, refer to as Awesome Mom.

As Awesome Mom, I volunteer at my children's school, donate checks to a bunch of non-profits, exercise to fit into my skinny jeans, manage the demanding health-care needs of one of my sons, cook impressive meals from scratch, read great novels, and try to be a supportive friend and a great lover to my husband. Oh, and I do all of this while keeping a clean house and sparkly bathrooms.
