I can't settle down enough to spend my last minutes wisely before my final test before Christmas break. I am dreading being at home with the kids and feeling guilty about it. I am not so good at the stay at home stuff and can already envision me pacing the floors and yelling a lot. On the other hand, my poor innocent children are looking foreward to spending some time with their crazy mommy. Not so crazy, I know. I have been looking for the sort of things that make me feel like I don't have it so bad. I am working on my positive thinking. What a chore! I hate to think positive! I like to be around people who are just positive by nature, it makes up for what I lack. I am always surprised to find these unusual individuals. How do they do it? Off now to take my test. Good luck to me!


If you're having a hard time being at home with them, do stuff with them. Take them places, visit family, do stuff you can't do when you're in school. Leave them with the babysitter and do something fun for yourself as well. Look at this as a time to regroup before you start school again.
Have fun and eliminate stress as much as possible.
