You take the groundhog, I'll take the mouse.

My son asked me this morning:

"What is the point of Groundhog Day?"

I"m not actually sure why we need to keep up to date on a rodent and his shadow (there's always at least six more weeks of winter in Canada after February 2nd), and for me Groundhog Day will always be linked to the Bill Murray movie of the same name, in which he is forced to live the same day, over and over again.

Kind of like when you're a Mom. In the middle of a cold Canadian winter.

You know what I mean.

I was leaving WalMart one day and ran into another Mom I know - she said "Here just give me your list - I forgot mine and I'm sure they're probably the same."

Sort of depressing.

But this year I have something to look forward to which is going to blow our February blahs away. We're taking the kids to DisneyWorld. And they don't know about it. Not yet.

Thanks to the amazing folks in the social media department of Disney, I'm going as press, and attending the Disney Social Media Moms' Conference .

Besides getting out of the cold, having a Disney experience, and thrilling the kids, I'll also be meeting some pretty cool and powerful social media Moms.

Now that's something I could do over and over again.

Goodbye Willie: Hello Mickey.

How awesome that your career has enabled you to create memories with your family. I find it increasingly hard to keep work away from home and find that trying to have a career in social media marketing (and trying to have a life of my own) is becoming a sore spot for my family. Hooray for you and thanks for demonstrating that it can work.
