i know what you mean..i go to school full time, work 15-20 hours a week and do a lot of outside activities (meetings, fundraisers, etc.) Most of the time Lily is great when I am busy doing homework. She plays with her toys or just comes and sits on my lap while I am at the computer. It's tough but all of the hard work will pay off!! Sundays are our fun days so I usually really spoil her then
