Gone before the sun is up. Home as the sun sets. Studying when the kids are in bed. Snoring when his head hits his pillow. The life of a resident.

Up with a smiley baby by 6. Cranky toddler comes around 7. Busy days of conflict resolution, money management, housekeeping, culionary arts, physical education, first aid, chauffering, and more. Can't sleep. Lay in bed thinking about my kids' futures, all the mistakes I've made, how to make it better, and what the next day will hold for us. The life of a mom.
