Vintage working mother moments
Diane, at Business Week’s Working Parents blog tells us about Working Mother Magazine and Advertising Women of New York (AWNY)’s “Advertising Working Mothers of the Year” luncheon.
She enjoyed hearing the stories from top executives about work and life.
My favorite, since I often joke about “Me and the Other Lady Who Works” at my kids’ school:
Perianne Grignon, Vice President of Media Services, Sears Holding Corporation:
I was registering one of my daughters for school and as we were standing in line with all the other moms and kids, I whispered to her: “How many other women in the crowd do you think work outside the home?” She answered: “You and that other woman wearing black.”

LIving in a community of stay-at-home moms and being a working girl myself, I can tell those who don’t work. They show up to practices dressed in nice clothes–not work clothes, but not the sweats/shorts those of us who work put on as soon as we get home. They have the nicest pedal pushers, strappy sandals and best done nails on the planet!
