6 months, 17 days ago edition.cnn.com — ATLANTA, Georgia (CNN) -- I am not a Trekkie but most days, I feel like I could be living on the starship Enterprise.
Not Capt. James Kirk's ship from the 1960s, but from the newer "Star Trek: The Next Generation."
That's the one with the bald captain who, whenever something catastrophic is about to send him and his ship into certain and horrific peril, and someone on the crew comes up with a scheme that just might save them all, he turns to his hunky second in command, curtly nods and says, " Make it so." Well that seems to be my role, at least in my family life, as it is for many working mothers, we're the "make-it-so" people.
Whether it's household maintaining, kid scheduling, meal prepping, school arranging, activity enabling, anything lost finding, pet caring and just plain all around constant nagging, er, reminding, we all seem to be holding that "make-it-so card."
And sometimes that job gets a bit overwhelming.
