Occassionally I wonder if I'm inadvertently creating obsessions within my chilren by pushing them to eet my standards...I don't know. What I do know is that if I don't at least try to teach them I will go absolutely crazy. There is simply far too much mess and too many people/pets for one person to keep up with it all.

Another thing I know is that since it seems like something is always dissheveled, when I do ake a significant difference I feel like I could fly!

In case you don't know, I am the at-home mom to four children between the ages of six years and eight months. (And let's not forget, we also have a dog, a puppy, two cats, two lizards, and two fish; what is this place?!...Noah's Ark???) Oh yeah, and if other things don't keep e busy enough, I'm also futhering my education at a 1/2 time pace with nothing more than a two week break between quarters.

Lately though I find myself struggling to stay motivated with my school work; ever since we moved. There are so many things that I'd rather be doing-including cleaning. I don't know what the solution is...but here I sit, once again, neglecting my homework.

Right now I have an excuse; NAK (nursing at keyboard. "Thanks Savannah!) ;-)

I also wanted to thank Cheyenne for being an enabler...or encouragement. :-)
