The day has finally arrived… Tomorrow we meet my son’s kindergarten teacher. I am officially ready for him to go. I know that sounds harsh, but in the words of a wise friend “I have given him the best 5 years, and now he needs to go to school.” Now don’t get me wrong,...

I’m baaack. This week has been a killer. My graduate class is a killer. My assignment for this week is a killer. Basically, I am sitting here when I should be finishing my project.

I think I may have solved–temporarily–my time management problems. I have this problem with multitasking. I am either a full-time stay-at-home mom or I am a part-time graduate student. Now when I am a grad student, I still have all the mom responsibilities. I just have a harder time completing mundane things like laundry...
