Mom...Can I Set The Table?

Since the vacation started, we have been eating dinner at the table and the kids loved it! With my work schedule and their schedule, we have not had the opportunity to eat together as a family. I feel so guilty as I should have really incorporated at least doing it once a week since the separation. I wish I could do so much more for them but i kow they already get a lot but I think they need more time with me. Despite my relatively good income, it means nothing when it is only that income that pays for everything. So I guess the hard work does not stop for me, however, I wish my work schedule could be a little more family-friendly to allow more time to spend with them. My 12 year old daughter is so spoiled and I feel that the time away does not allow me the time to be with her more. My 6 year old daughter is sweet and I hope it lasts forever but I know she misses me when we are not around. My 23 year old daughter is back from college and I think that we are trying to figure out how to live together again. I know I am a good mom but can always be a better one!

Why Did I Need This Blog???

Right now, I am vacationing with my two youngest in the Poconos and am thinking "Thank God I decided to take a week off!" Even though I have taken time away from the hectic demands of the office...I was still checking my Blackberry and work email. ENOUGH!!! This is how the birth of my blog began and I probably needed to do this a log time ago. A single mother of three children, ranging between the ages of 7 to 23, with a full-time hectic job running around to meet the demands and needs of the kids as well as trying to ensure that I keep my job in these hectic times! How does everybody else cope? Why am I feeling off balance? Right now, I am enjoying this fantasy of being able to relax as I know it all changes when I return back to Brooklyn and get kids ready for camp, summer school, dance programs, etc.! Why about my life, I just got accepted into this scholarship program for the Fall and I am praying I survive it all.
