I stole this list from someone else's blog and I find it interesting. I've made lists of my own like this in the past but I like to refer to this one as a means of comparing myself (I know, it's never a good thing to compare yourself to anyone) and see where I measure up. My 'accomplishments' are in bold.I guess what I glean from this activity is that while I may feel frustrated at my current situation as a young working mother, I have still done a few things in my time. 1.
