What Exactly Do You Do, Mommy?

Doesn't this picture just make you want to smile? Wouldn't it be great if Mommy could figure out how to rotate it? Well she couldn't...nonetheless, still a cute one!
Sooo, funny thing happened yesterday. Mommy came to get us from Miss Mary Lou's. I told Mommy, "Mommy work today!" Mommy, "Yes, Lilly! Mommy worked today!" Then we had a lengthy conversation (Mommy will spare the details) about what Daddy does ("Daddy is a baby doctor!") and what other kids' parents do ("Liam's Mommy works at school!" etc.) Then Mommy said, "What does Mommy do?" I said, "Mommy works!"
"What does Mommy do?"
"Mommy eats cookies!" If only Mommy got paid to do that...
And so on...then it occurred to Mommy that it is pretty hard to articulate what she does when you are 2 years old. It's hard for even some of Mommy's friends and family to articulate what she does. So Mommy thought she would clarify.
Here is what Mommy does NOT do:
- Sell Yellowpage ads
- Sell wireless phones
- Work for the "phone company"
What Mommy DOES do, in a high-level nutshell is:
- Works primarily with government and state/local entities to sell IT hardware and services including but not limited to: phone systems (this is what Mommy used to do exclusively when she actually did the design and pre-sales engineering work), networking gear, security, storage, data center space, disaster recovery, etc. Some of Mommy's customers actually write 7-figure checks to her company for their products and solutions! It's pretty cool, and Mommy LOVES her JOB! She makes a good living, it's flexible (i.e. it accomodates Mommy's perpetual tardiness) she saves a fair amount of money for us little peanuts, we get to wear cute clothes, etc. But how do you say all this when you're 2?
"Mommy works. Mommy eats cookies."
All part of a day's work...
Love,
Lilly and Anna
