Her &#8220;bio&#8221; begins with &#8220;<em>Up at the crack of dawn and working long into the night, this heroine magically creates extra hours each day juggling kids, schedules, chores and career</em>.&#8221; Sound familiar?</p>

<p>Whether you <strong>work outside the home</strong> or <a title="Work at Home Information and Tips for the WAHM" href="http://www.modernmami.com/category/wahm/"><strong>work at home</strong></a>, you will probably appreciate this humorous look into the world of being a <a title="Working Mom Helpful Tips" href="http://www.modernmami.com/category/working-mom/"><strong>working mom</strong></a>. The doll comes with accessories like the super long to-do list and a tag line that reads &#8220;<em>Juggling kids &amp; career while standing on her head.</em>&#8221; How can you <em>not </em>relate?</p>
<p>The Happy Worker site also provides <a href="http://www.happyworker.com/supermom/facts.html">Fun Mom Facts</a> and a section with <a id="ct6m" title="Resources for Modern Moms" href="http://www.happyworker.com/supermom/momresources">Resources for Modern Moms</a>, which includes a topic of <strong>Balancing Work and Children</strong>.</p>
<p>As the doll portrays, busy moms have a lot on their minds. Let&#8217;s take some time today to laugh a little and take a break from work. Maybe you can even <a title="How Busy Moms Can Get Me-Time" href="http://www.modernmami.com/life/get-me-time-alone/">squeeze some me-time</a> in there for yourself. Happy Friday and have a great weekend!</p>
<p><strong>What do you like to do for a break from work? Any fun stress-relieving activities you do to give your mind a quick break?</strong></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>My <strong>three year old daughter</strong> is incredibly cute. I&#8217;m not <em>biased </em>or anything. Just see for yourself.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-1477" title="Baby Girl" src="http://www.modernmami.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/13246465269_ORIG-500x400.jpg" alt="Baby Girl" width="500" height="400" /><br />
See? I told you so.</p>
<p>Not only is she beautiful on the outside, but she&#8217;s an incredibly <strong>sweet </strong>little girl as well. <strong>And smart</strong>. Also? <strong>Funny</strong>. <em>Truly funny</em> &#8211; not just &#8220;Oh, she&#8217;s so cute so I&#8217;ll laugh at anything&#8221; funny either.</p>
<p>I love all these qualities about her. She&#8217;s definitely got a strong combination going for herself.</p>
<p>Sometimes I look at her and I can just <em>see </em>the wheels turning in her head. Then she&#8217;ll burst out with some random thought. I love those moments. They give me an opportunity to glimpse into her little brain and get an idea of what she&#8217;s thinking about all day.</p>
<p>Some of the random thoughts she&#8217;s said lately:</p>
<ul>
<li>Mommy, you&#8217;re my best friend.</li>
<li>When I grow up, I want to be a detective.</li>
<li>Daddy&#8217;s a funny guy, isn&#8217;t he mommy?</li>
<li>You know what abuela? I&#8217;m from the United States.</li>
</ul>
<p>They all make sense to me and my husband. And all show different characteristics of baby girl: love, aspirations, admiration, and culture.</p>
<p>She continually surprises me and never ceases to amaze me. And I just want to eat her all up. But, then she&#8217;d tell me &#8220;Mommmyyy, we DON&#8217;T eat peopleeee!&#8221;<br />
<strong><br />
What craziness do you love about your children? Let&#8217;s share some positive memories in the comments to get away from the everyday aggravations for a little bit.</strong></p>
