Walmart Black Friday Ad
I don't know about you, but I'm a little disappointed in the Walmart Black Friday ad. (In case you haven't seen it yet, Walmart released the full ad on their site at midnight.)
The last few years have seen me setting my alarm on Black Friday with a list of deals to buy online, but this year I think about the only thing worth getting is the $4.47 PJs.
I'm going to hold out hope that Toys R Us, LeapFrog or Amazon has a good deal on the LeapPad and Amazon or Best Buy has a great DSLR price...

LeapFrog Early Black Friday Deals
Head over to LeapFrog's facebook page to RSVP for their early Black Friday event. Starting at 10am on Friday, through midnight on the 14th, a fans-only event will give access to exclusive savings on LeapFrog products. There's no word yet which items will be on sale, but I'm personally hoping for deep discounts on the LeapPad.
Phobias
My 4-year-old has some strange phobias, but the weirdest is the most recent addition -- The Lion King. I'm talking serious phobia here, she can't even look at a Lion King picture in a book or a toy in the store in case it reminds her "about the dad."
This is probably my fault. What was I thinking, suggesting a child with a stay-at-home-father watch that movie anyway. Although I can't help be a little disconcerted at just how supremely unconcerned she was when Bambi's mother died. Hmmm.
I can't talk, though. I have my own weird phobias, like my insane fear of dead flies. I am literally terrified by them. Even writing this is making me break out in a sweat. Think you've seen fear? Just watch me around a fly paper. LOL. The weird thing is, my son already has the same phobia and he hasn't even seen mine...I think...I guess it's one more thing to feel guilty about!
Do your kiddos have any strange phobias?

The Holidays are Here!
Ok, not quite. But I'm feeling the holiday spirit already. So much so that I even made eggnog pancakes for the kids yesterday!
It's an easy way to get some festive cheer -- just substitute eggnog for about half the water in your instant mix (yes, I said mix -- I promised to be organized but I didn't say anything about cooking :P )
Even better if you can make the pancakes with a holiday print. I found a Christmas pancake griddle at Target so I foresee lots of pancakes over the next few months!

Working Mom Guilt
Do you ever get that overwhelming feeling of guilt about being a working mom? I know I do. The days when work has gone badly, you see the kids for barely an hour in the evenings, the worst possible point of the day when everyone is tired and patience is short. Once everyone is tucked up in bed I feel guilty and regretful about who I snapped at or that I didn’t make the most of my limited time.
Conversely, I also feel guilty when we’ve had good days. I find myself wishing I had more time, and imagining what life would be like if I could do this every day. On those days I am deeply envious of stay at home moms. That life seems so carefree and fun (rationally I realize it’s not, but that isn’t what it seems like at the time).
Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE my job. I enjoy what I do, and who I work with. But in those moments of guilt, I wonder if I made the right choice.
Questioning if our decision was the right one isn’t limited to working moms. This article from a stay at home mom shows the regrets from the other perspective. I thought it was very interesting and on those days when I’m feeling too guilty, will be a good reminder of one of the upsides to working.
TTYL,
Organized Working Mom
