April 25, 2017      Finger Lakes Connected
Back to school! Ahhhh...Every year, I get a little bit better about Spring Break. Taxi Driver, Waitress, Cook, Maid, Mediator, Working Girl.  Balancing it all is the challenge. Then, as soon as I figure it all out, they are back to school. Freedom! Am I the only Mom who had this Aretha Franklin song in her head Monday morning? The first step is admitting it, right? :)
