Bottom line, I have become a self-taught expert in dealing with people. So here is my question: at what point did it become acceptable for people not to be courteous?

Setting Unrealistic Resolutions as a Working Mom
Yesterday was a snow day here in New England. When I woke up to that white wonderland, I had three thoughts:
- Oh good, I can write that New Year’s Resolution blog I’ve been dying to get done.
- Oh God, I am stuck in a house with four dogs and a toddler who will undoubtedly be bored out of their mind by 10:00 a.m.

Lately, one of the most common questions I’m asked is “Wow, you are a super woman ... how do you do it ALL?” After all, I work as an Animal Control Officer, a Realtor, a Brand Ambassador, and … to top it off ... I am starting a shiny new marketing company. Now, let’s add my roles as mother, wife, and circus wrangler of four dogs and a cat.
