I have had a great summer!!  My children are finally at an age where I can do somethings for myself!  It's been so nice being able to leave them at the pool or at home, go to work and know all is well! 

They have even helped me out by doing chores at home while I've been working some this summer.  I think it gives them a new appreciation for what I get done during the school year when they are gone! 

After 14 years of being a full time mom, I feel I am getting a little of my identity back by working, if only part time.  It's a great escape and a wonderful way to put all those minor household chores that can weigh you down into perspective.  I also think it makes me more productive when I am at home!  Anyone else feel this way?
