take our daughters and sons to work day
Published Apr. 24, 2008
The Mini Wonder is coming to work with me today to recognize the MS Foundation's Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day.
As a young girl, my mother took me with her so that I could see her, as a woman, in a different role than I was used to seeing her at home. It gave me insight and hope into my future, in which my mother told me I could be anything I wanted to be. And she was right.
I was so happy that the MS Foundation expanded their day to include sons because as strong a woman as I am, I am raising a son whom I adore, and want to raise to respect everyone. Especially women, and especially himself.
So if your kids aren't at work with you today, check out the MS Foundation and see if you can plan to take them with you next year.
We've got a big day planned at my office in downtown Raleigh. The Mini Wonder is going to help us get ready for a big event next weekend, then around lunchtime we're going to walk to lunch somewhere downtown on the mall. We'll check out the capital, the legislative building, the park and the statues honoring our fallen soldiers. Looks like it's going to be a beautiful day!

We spent hours touring research labs and manufacturing facilities, control centers, and the coolest thing -- the computer room. At that time, it was literally a room -- a huge two story room the size of a house -- that held one of the most powerful computers in the world at the time.
If he had just done what he normally did, I would have been bored to tears watching him push paper and talk on the phone.
