WRAL: Home with a sick kid

Stephanie Llorente, owner of Restored, is a regular contributor to the WRAL-TV Go Ask Mom blog where she writes about relevant topics for working moms. We repost that content here.

Well, friends. I was planning for this article to focus on home and office organization for busy moms. Spoiler alert: It doesn’t.

Life happened and I ended up with a sick kiddo which messed with my writing schedule. Even so, I have work deadlines to meet. I have evening commitments I can’t ignore. I have a family I must care for. I have groceries I must buy and dishes I must wash. And so it goes for moms everywhere, right?

Even when we have the best of intentions, make plans to achieve, and eliminate distractions, something slides into view that wasn’t on the charted course…and we get thrown off track. I’m typically a pretty flexible person, but it’s really no different for my "type A" friends…they just stress out about it a bit more and likely have a plan B already in their back pocket.
