Working motherhood means juggling career and family
Motherhood is hard enough before you throw in work. Once you're juggling a job, parenting, self-care and adult relationships, you start praying for guidance about how to handle working motherhood.
Until Moses returns with a couple of stone tablets addressing
motherhood, here's my take on the 10 commandments for working
motherhood.
Thou Shall Trust Thine Instincts
You know your family best and you also know your employer. Trust your
instincts when you feel your kids are acting out because they need your
attention. Give them the extra time and nurturing, even if it means you miss a few minutes of work. Motherhood is your most important job, and not one to be taken lightly.
Now,
let’s be honest here: The majority of married couples don’t actually
get around to having sex on their wedding night. You might as well scrap
what watching all those rom-coms taught you. After all the craziness
that is surviving your wedding day in tact, you’re usually drunk,
exhausted, or both by the time you get back to your room. That said, who
wants to be a statistic? (Especially on their wedding night.) We
didn’t!
I say, add “getting laid” to your wedding day to-do-list, right
alongside all the other tasks you’ll go bat shit crazy over seeing go
undone. And, if you’re gonna make it a priority, you might as well do it
right. Men, here’s a handy little guide to what your wife-to-be will really want to get out of the evening’s activities, and ladies, here’s your first official “honey do” list.

The Founding of Rome is very much embroiled in myth.
Traces found by archaeologists of early settlements of the Palatine Hill date back to ca 750 BC.
This ties in very closely to the established legend that Rome was
founded on 21 April 753 BC, which was traditionally celebrated in Rome
with the festival of Parilia.
Two founding legends exist - Romulus and Remus and Aeneas.
Rather than contradict each other, the tale of Aeneas adds to that of Romulus and Remus.
Romulus and Remus
King Numitor of Alba Longa was ejected by his younger brother Amulius.
To do away with any further possible pretenders to his usurped throne,
Amulius murdered Numitor's sons and forced Numitor's daughter, Rhea
Silvia, to become a vestal virgin. (Vestal virgins were priestesses to
the goddess Vesta and were expected to guard their virginity in the
goddess' honour on pain of death.)
However Mars, the god of war became enchanted by her beauty and had his
way with Rhea Silvia while she slept. As a result of this Rhea Silvia
bore twins, Romulus and Remus.
An enraged Amulius had Rhea Silvia thrown into the river Tiber where she
was caught beneath the waves by the river god who married her.
