As a working mom, things that make life more sane

As a working mother, I feel like there are quite a few things that could be done to make life easier and have for me...

My favs:
1) the grocery store that delivers food! Love being able to do this boring task without lugging two young ones along, who are "hungry" and begging for anything and everything they see (no I don't get them what they want, I get what I was going to get anyways) anyways, I esp. love the thing they have to remind you what you bought before, and the meal planner section with meal ideas (where it's easy to choose all ingredients)

2) love the breast pump, kept me and my 2 nursing well past year one! Closer to yr 2 but the pump is what helped us get past yr 1. Feeling good about things improving for women who more and more have a place to do this at work! And not the bathroom(eww and unsanitary!) and not the boss' office (eww again)

3) love the crock pot, use it 1-2 times a week to cook up meals for us while I'm at work

4) love the ATM and the ability to buy stamps at them - like I said anything so you don't have to drag kids inside is good!

5) love sliding doors on cars, feels good to not have to worry your kid opening the door will hit another person or car...

6) with less and less time, love email and text

7) love the iPad for learning games and for a little peace an quiet while they watch toons or play games without it becoming the center of what's going on in the room (like tv)

8)Love pull ups and absorbent underwear for ease of training without risking all the mess (no time to clean extra since I'm so busy all the time)
