Well, after the financial aid drama (which I finally got!) and the pure adjustment to doing homework again, I have finished my spring semester and only have one semester left.

Quality Time With Your Teen
It's so hard with teens/young adult kids. I call them all teens but only two of them technically are. Even my little William is now 21.

I like to think I'm an intelligent woman but the most intelligent person can still do nutty things, especially when she are low on caffeine. I recently went to McDonald’s and had another one of those moments. So I was making my morning trip to McDonald's to get my coffee.
