Last Saturday, just before leaving for the workshop series I am doing with the Environmental Forum of Marin I ran to my computer to check the location and lo and behold there was a "Congratulations!" email from Kevin Danaher of Global Exchange. Turns out the New York Times ran a cover story about the EcoMom Alliance. I was absolutely flabberghasted, thrilled and am now gratefully trying to keep up with the barrage of interest that has come our way. Trying to balance it with still trying to be a good mom of course and wouldn’t you know it, this is the week that Corbin gets that awful flu bug that has been going around. I thought I was doing a good job of keeping up until this morning when he informed, "Mom, I’ve been sick and I need more attention." This even though I’ve been on the couch cuddling with him despite a slew of unreturned calls and emails. So we played inside ball for a while, he felt a little more secure, and now I’m back on the computer and phone for a while. Ah, the dance. If you live in the Bay Area by the way, check out the Environmental Forum. It is a phenomenal program.
