Emilyann, you're a sweetheart! I get time to myself when school's in session. Those hours are priceless! It's just that with Summer vacation here I sometimes look like a banshee carrying around a dirty sock and a handful of candy wrappers going "whose are theeeeeese?" No wonder my kids stay up late
Volunteering -if you can leave the house is great. I go once a week during the school year to help a kid with his reading skills. For some reason it's just more rewarding to teach someone elses kid.
"Boxed wine and romance novels."- that's priceless, made my day
Reminds me a cute kid onesie that said "My mommy drinks because I cry" hee hee.
