Linked In

Are you Linked In?  You know.....www.linkedin.com.  I am.  I think.  It's a little embarassing, to be honest.  I keep getting invitations from people who want to be "linked in" to me.  So, I accept them.  I'm not really sure what I'm linked into though.  It's surely not the same thing they are linked into.  CEOs, Owners, Directors, Managers, Senior this, that and the other.  I did update my title---Domestic CEO.  Please let me know if you have one that is more fitting, or more exciting.  I'm open to suggestions.  Head bottom-wiper...or bottom checker, because as I wrote this, the second grader came in and said "Did I wipe good?  Can you check?" and then just bent over and showed me his tater hole, no kidding.  You can thank Grammy for that new term for your vocabulary.  You're welcome.

Back to being linked in.  I have a title.  I feel like a fraud using my title from my previous position in the "real" work world.  So, we'll stick with Domestic CEO for now.  How about my industry?  So many to choose from.

• Higher Education:  I am preparing little minds for the real world.
• Farming:  Do I really need to explain this one?  I feel like I live on a farm with a bunch of pigs!
• Health, Wellness and Fitness:  Oh flu season, here we come.
• Law Enforcement:  Mom = Sheriff
• Mental Health Care: Because I am always out of my mind

How do I look with my sister's tights on my head and Christmas tree beads around my waist?

My all time favorite industry, but I did not go with it, is......

Wine and Spirits!!  Oh yes.  Because, well, you know why.

How could you not know why after looking at this?

Or this?

Or, my all time favorite.....this:

You asked me to feed the dog!!

I decided my industry is "Executive Office."  That doesn't really sound like an industry to me, but rather a place.  Anyway, that's my industry.  My executive office is with me where ever I go.  It's the grocery.  It's preschool.  It's elementary school.  It's.....the bathroom.

Next on the profile for Linked In is "specialities."  Wooo baby!  Do I ever have those!  Let's see.....back in the day I could use the breastpump, talk on the phone and eat all at the same time.  But, we need current specialities.  Still, the list is endless.

So, I guess I am linked in.  Linked in to my family.  Not always to my sanity.  But, linked in none the less.
