Taking advantage

I am sure every parent struggles with guilt from being away from their child because of their job. But even a full-time parent needs some “me” time just to stay sane. At least when Quin is in school, I will have 2 or 3 guilt-free hours when I know he is learning and having fun. For now, I will take advantage of every moment and spend as much time as possibly with him.

School daze

With kids starting back to school, it has got me thinking about preschools for my little guy. Even though I would not want him to start until next year, I decided to check out a place last week. I confess, as I walked in I got a huge lump in my throat and my eyes started to water. My reaction to just thinking about preschool does not bode well for what will happen to me when we take Quin to college. Now I know why my Dad would always hug me and tell me come live at home, adding I can bring Jon.
