days/nights

With the start of school for 1 & 2, life feels odd and will for a while. They get up and are gone without me in the mornings, but need me to be here when they get home as often as possible and until it's crash time for them. As a mom of two with learning differences i understand this. Their schedule meshes well with my work schedule right now, but is limiting if i want to work more, which i do, so it's a little frustrating.

i find myself staying up insanely late doing work, lesson planning, writing, etc... It puts my classes in the middle of my day on weekdays, which is great, but it makes my early mornings not the joy i'm used to them being! Thinking of getting a part time job doing floral design or something. If they can work with my teaching, business and parenting schedules it'd be fun to do something creative - and it'd get my schedule back to normal!

It's #1's Senior year. i guess i'm feeling the "last chance to be here for her every day" blues, so i'm understandably hesitant to add another layer to my life. Conflicted. On another note: i'm hosting both kids' friends here for the annual Frolic! (bonfire and bash), a tradition i started when #1 got so grounded she didn't see her friends for weeks and i felt bad. LoL Such a softie. i'm looking forward to it.
