This week is the first week I've had my children living with me while school is in session. I mean, EVER. Their dad and I divorced when they were 2, 4 and 5 and I've never had 'custody' of them during the school year. They are now 13, 12 and 10 and involved in sports and activities and have homework and everything. I've had them weekends over the years and helped with reports and projects and attended concerts and sporting events and field trips, but never as the one they woke up with in the morning and went to bed with that night. I was somewhat worried that I wouldn't be able to 'do it all'. Homework, dinner, breakfasts, lunches, running mom's taxi, etc. But, So far, so good. It's a great feeling to have them here. I finally feel like a real 'mom'. I'm managing to get everything done, and not just the essentials, but the extras too, after school snacks and laundry and even getting grading done for my students.
Life is good.

Make sure you kiss them and make them feel silly every morning. They'll appreciate it when they're older.
