Summer Break is almost here!!!

Now that the school year is coming to an end, I reflect on how crazy it was to go to grad. school, work and try to be a great mom. I think my classroom suffered this year because part of me felt I had to be Mom of the Year to my son and the another part felt I had to be the Straight A Graduate Student. Well, I didn't achieve that balance too well. I guess on the outside it looked like I did, but the reality of the situation was that I always felt like I was running...like the little hamster on the wheel. Grading papers, lesson plans, papers due, reading assignments, taking time to play with little one, etc... I am really ready to get off, thank goodness summer break is around the corner!!!!
