Mothering skills that are resume worthy

I am like all other moms figuring it out day by day while attempting to look like I know what I'm doing. I realize that we have to get creative and figure out how to get things done. Many should seriously be considered resume options for all the CEO's thinking we took time off to sit and eat bon bons with a sleeping baby ... Ha!

1. Attempting to look well rested (I heart concealer).

2. Using your mouth, elbows, hips and knees as if they were hands (extra hands should be a product at Babies R Us).

3. Finding any and all elevators wherever you go.

4. Strategically planning all outings around naptime...or pay the price.

5. Finding a place in the office to pump while getting all your work done and trying to sneak out so you don't have to tell anyone why you are leaving your desk every 4 hours and attempting to relax while doing it.

6. Breastfeeding...hello it isn't so easy. People who haven't tried it should try to whip out a boob without anyone seeing in public while a screaming baby makes everyone glance over.

7. Making anything into a changing table and trying to make sure nobody is looking (so far I've used my lap, my car, benches and more that I just don't even want to say).

8. Cleaning all the grossest bodily fluids off of your hands with dignity.

9. Multitask (I can breastfeed a newborn, while feeding a toddler, doing the laundry and the dishes at the same time and take a sip of Diet Coke every now and then). We should seriously consider submitting that to the Olympics for evaluation.

10. Suppressing all negative emotions until naptime.
