Times are busy around the schoolhouse these days and I am seriously earning my paycheck this month. My brain is bustling with all sorts of "to do's" at school and at home. Balancing work and home has no balance at all. I heard a lady on the radio say women working outside the home are really working outside the will of God. For anyone wanting to send her hate mail - I truly can't remember her name right now, but it will come to me. Sometimes I feel that dragging my pre-schoolers out of bed every morning is extra difficult because I know deep down it's not right.

I got a call about 10:30am today from J's teacher. She said that J was playing outside and hit herself in the eye with her knee. I drove over to her school to survey the damage. J's eye looked like it belonged to a prize fighter.
