I find myself in a whirl of packing lunches, signing agendas, finding library books, checking homework, and by the time I get the kids out the door and stumble out myself, it's not unusual for me to realize that I haven't … [Read more...]
One-on-One for a Change
My Baby was born into chaos. As a third child, from Day One, her "mom" experience has been that of a crazy, screaming, overstretched lunatic. I'm almost always yelling. Almost always rushing.
