If you keep working you'll last longer and I just want to keep vertical.
I'd hate to spend the rest of my life trying to outwit an 18-inch fish.

- Harold S Geneen
 

I think we're seeing in working mothers a change from "Thank God it's Friday" to "Thank God it's Monday."
If any working mother has not experienced that feeling, her children are not adolescent.

- Ann Diehl
