What's in a Name?

I was recently referred to as an "Alpha Mom" by an acquaintance. Now I've heard of "Soccer Moms" and "Yoga Moms", but I wasn't really sure what to make of this latest title....and I wasn't really sure whether I should be flattered or insulted.

If "leader of my pack" is what it suggests - then I can't argue with that! I am after all the central hub of my household. Who else knows when the library books are due? Where my son's favorite "horse jacket" is at all times? How to talk my 5 and half year old daughter down from a fashion crisis?

If the moniker is suggestive of my Type A personality, then I may just need to be taken aback. It's ok for me to reference my perfectionist and somewhat neurotic tendencies but who the heck are you to? I know I’m obsessed with time, not having enough and trying every single day to carve more of it out, but who isn’t? If I didn’t have my various time savings tools in place , like www.wovenfare.com, I’d be one step closer to the loony bin by the end of the week.

Maybe it's suggestive of both... if so, I guess I can live with the label. After all, what's in a name?
