I am a one-woman circus.

I teeter on the tightrope between family and work. I juggle all my responsibilities - one slip and it all tumbles down. And sometimes, I'm just a clown, falling over my big feet.

Finding a balance is easier said than done. Mostly it's the housework that gets left behind, and then I am filled with dread of the dust rhinoceri that cluster under the beds.

My balancing act clearly needs work.

Here are a few interesting takes on this balance thing:

Which jobs are family-friendly?
Career ruining kids?
Parenting anarchy
