She said of the balancing act between work and motherhood: “I take it day by day. Yes, I work really hard during the day, but I had this week off so we got to register for preschools. I got to put him to sleep at night and have breakfast in the morning. That’s, I guess, sort of the good thing about being a working parent. When you are at home, you really appreciate those mundane every day little things.”
The self-professed neat freak/nerd added, “I’m just a nerd. Well, maybe not as controlling as much as a nerd. I like everything organized. I like everything very clean. I don’t like to bend the rules. I’m a nerd. I go to sleep really early. I’m like, ‘I don’t think that’s the way we should do that,’ and my husband’s like, ‘Alright, nerd. Calm down.’ I’m the opposite of cool.”
