“Most mothers entering the labor market outside the home are naive. They stagger home each evening, holding mail in their teeth, the cleaning over their arm, a lamb chop defrosting under each armpit, balancing two gallons of frozen milk between their knees, and expect one of the kids to get the door.” TwoHomeKidsMotherDoorsArmsLaborTeethEveningKneesMilkMailEnteringFrozenCleaningNaiveLambsGallonsArmpits Author:Erma Bombeck

“Give yourself the gift of uninterrupted time. It can be the first hour of your day. Or the last hour. A lunch hour. You want time free from phone calls, visitors, mail, things to read. Unplug the phone if you have to. Lock your door. Put a sign on it that warns people of the consequences of entering. Do what you have to and watch the results. One hour of uninterrupted time can double a person's productivity for the day.” PeopleIfsWantGivingFirstsPersonsLastsHoursResultsWatchesDoorsConsequencePhonesProductivityLunchMailLocksEnteringVisitorsPhone CallsOne HourInterruptions Author:Geri Larkin
