It's been "Extreme Monday" over here in Purple Scare land. I got the news today that a colleague and friend who went west for her maternity leave this weekend landed just in time, as her water broke Saturday night. She now has a bouncing baby boy -- six weeks early. The good news is that both mother and baby are doing well and are expected to be just fine.
And aside from that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play? Yep, and it's only Monday.
About Me
- Mugs
- I'm originally from North America and I work in the travel industry. I started this blog when I was living in Baltic Europe and wanted to keep family and friends updated on my first pregnancy. I took maternity leave for a year, and came a little closer to figuring out what I want to be when I grow up - but alas, the job of "Katharine Hepburn" was taken. So after fifteen months of Stay-at-Home-Mom-hood, I returned to the workforce in January 2006. My husband and I have a daughter born in 2004 and a son born in 2006 (known on this blog as "Gigi" and "Halley" respectively). My company transferred me to a nice warm island in July 2006, where I get to spend the next three years (at least!) So why the name "Purple Scare"? Because when I created the blog, I was living behind the Rusted Iron Curtain, and I like the color purple more than red. Write me at purplescareblog@gmail.com.
