If you are one of the 52 percent of American mothers employed outside the home you know what double doses of work are all about. Most employed women go through times when they feel overwhelmed by theircontinuous juggling of the responsibilities of mother, wife, and worker. They know out-of-home employ ment affects their own lives and the lives of children and hus bands. In spite of rough times and worries, researchers report that most working women enjoy the challenges of their jobs. Research says. . .Because each working mother's situation is different, it is not possible to predict how a mother's employ ment affects a family. However, Two-year-old The following brief descrip tions present some ideas about what you will enjoy and worry about as a parent of a two year old. For more information read child behavior, a paperback book by Francis L. Ilg and Louise Bates Ames. Dramatic changes take place as toddlers approach their third year. Their original interest in parents, exploring the world, and practicing motor skills conti nues but the use of their time is more directed toward accom plishing goals. Greater physical strength and muscular control produces grace ful sitting and standing postures. Arms and legs move together more efficiently for the usual running and jumping while walk ing on tiptoes and galloping are added skills. With all parts work ing together toddler pedals a tricycle expertly and throws and kicks balls purposively. Large pencils or crayons are controlled enough to produce drawings. A big achievement is their control or urination. Strengthened mus cles allow children this age to wait to urinate. However, heavy sleep, cold,, or excitement may result in temporary loss of blad der control.

The 8 a.m. tour will leave from the Mid-Columbia Livestock Auction for Klickitat County, Washington.

There will be a bull weight guessing contest with valuable prizes and a western mothers have double dose of work research indicates that a working mother's absence from the home is not necessarily detrimental to children. Here arc the major conclusions that have emerged from research. A mother's full-time employ ment is not, by itself likely to harm a child. There is no difference in school achievement and social adjustment between children of employed mothers and at-home mothers. Children of employed mothers have as much attachment to their mothers as children of at home mothers. The fact that mother is employed does not have dire consequences for children. What is important, however, is what mother is like when she's home with children. The worry and guilt of many working mothers causes problems if it makes family time less enjoyable. What you can do!. . .Here are ready to problems-solving skills are both interesting and challenging for parents. An important part of being two is learning what can be done with increased attention and memory spans. As older toddlers explore objects they want to know how it works and what can be done with it. The 30-month-old will repeat an acti vity over and over to master it. Between two and three toddlers are eager to engage in conversa tions. Their words and sentences are more complete and they want to exchange ideas with adults. They use more action words and show interest in des criptive words with explorations of textures, sizes, sounds, or activities. More activity outside the home now lessens toddler's focus on the family, especially on mother. Although the use of "No" has faded, it still used frequently as toddler attempts to make choices. They want to attract and hold your attention, not in the same "clingy" fashion of babies but as individuals. Greater emotional control is noticeable as they begin to express normal feelings of affection and annoyance with adults or other children.

When managing two jobs, the least important expectations and standards have to go. Attend ing to your own and your family's well-being will be high on your list. Elaborate meals, regularly scrubbed floors, and picture perfect rooms may not make your list at all. Avoid increasing your stress by feeling guilty about things you cannot do. 2) Take care of yourself. When you feel frazzled, go to a quiet part of the house to read, listen to music, or finish some mindless tasks that needs to be done. Try to schedule an evening for your self or train your family to allow you a half-hour of re-entry time when you come home. Taking time to shift gears into the home world is a real attitude adjuster. If you don't make your personal care a priority, you will burn out very quickly. explore the and enjoy it. It tney express displeasure with you or others pause to consider if the feeling is justified. It's hard for parents to handle feeling of dislike such as "I hate you" but deal with it as a grown-up. Sometimes neither friends nor parents are pleasing. A thinking, reasoning toddler sets a new tone for your relation ship. By age three toddlers begin to size up situations and think them through before taking action. For example, younger children Cutting own meat can If you're looking for ways to cut your food budget, sharpen your knife and your carving skills. . . You can save money by cutting up your own chicken, slicing your own lunch meat, and stret ching large cuts of meat into more than one meal. The whole chicken is not equal to the sum of it's parts cost wise. Chicken sold whole always costs a few cents less per pound than chicken parts. The price difference will vary among stores. To reduce your meat budget, consider slicing your own cold Lush grass Grass Tetany or Grass Staggers is a metabolic disease of cattle, sheep and goats caused by low blood levels of magnesium, thus its scientific name, Hypomagne sium. Grass Tetany occurs when animals graze fast growing grass or very lush grass early in the growing season. The grass is low in magnesium and high in nitrogen and potassium. High soil levels of nitrogen and potas sium cause a decreased uptake of magnesium by the grass and therefore the low levels of magne sium in a ruminants blood sy stem. The most common symptoms are dullness, unthriftness, tossing of the head, bellowing, unsteady walk, exaggerated leg move Calcium helpful to muscles There is more calcium in the body than any other mineral, about four and one-half pounds of it in the average adult. Most of it is found in combination with phosphorus in the bones and teeth. Its major function, therefore, is to provide structure.

Quality time is time to share feelings with your children and spouse, listen fully, hug and hold, and plan fun experiences together. Mothers tend to burden themselves so heavily with home tasks that family,companionship and enjoy ment are almost forgotten. 4) Link work and parenthood. Develop connections between your work world and your child's world. Children will understand vour wnrk-life hptter if vnn talk about it. Take them to visit your workplace and meet your co workers. Many working parents find ways children can help with the job on special projects or errands. An employed mother's peace of mind is assured if children are well-cared for during working hours and there is a balance in time and enjoyment shared with family members. world will try to life an impossible heavy log; a toddler will ask for help. Sometimes parents mista kenly take the request for help as a returning dependency. It's actually a new level of more mature reasoning and is an op portunity for you to teach decision-making.

Next time you see unsliced bologna or salami on sale, compare its price with that of presliced meats. You can also prepare lunch meats at home such as turkey and roast beef. Compare the cost per pound (less the bone) of these meats with the price of purchased luncheon meat. You may decide it would pay to prepare luncheon meats at home. A pound of roast beef or turkey breast will yield about 1 2 ounces of cooked meat after removal from the bone. can cause grass tetany ments, staggering and convul sions. During the convulsion stage the eyes twitch, the legs paddle or are stiffly extended, and frothing and champing of the jaws are common. Animals showing these signs must be treated as an emergency and treated immediately with I.V. solutions containing magnesium and calcium. Prevention of grass tetany is rather inexpensive. Several ways are possible but the most common is feeding magnesium oxide as a feed additive in a salt-mineral supplement or by supplying "mag-blocks."Other ways which are used include top-dressing pastures with dolomite limestone or magnesium oxide (more expen behavior of nerves and keep tiny blood vessels open.

It is available almost any- save money Money can also be saved by buying a larger-than-usual cut of meat on sale and cutting it into smaller portions suitable for'several meals. For example, you can have three entirely diffe rent meals from a chuck roast. For one meal, cut a boneless piece from the end of the roast and split it into steaks for swiss ing. A piece from the center makes a small, one-meal pot roast. The balance can be cubed for stews.

Don't forget to clean a war' er lint screen after each use as well. Plastic bags from bread, fruits and vegetables are handy for so many other uses.

Breakfast, however, need not be cereal, or even bacon and fried eggs (pretty heavy on the calories from fat). It can be yesterday's leftovers.
