Good lord, seems like the kids just went back after summer break ... and it's fall break already? Sheesh!

Breaks always make me feel like a bad parent ... or like a flaky self employed bum. (Not sure which is worse!) If I'm working I feel guilty that I'm not spending time with Bug. If I'm spending time with my kid I feel guilty for not working.

Then there's the whole money issue ... hard to make money when you're not working!

At the end of every break where we DON'T do something interesting or educational, I always tell myself I'll plan ahead for the next break. I'll take Bug somewhere fantastic, do something new, have some wonderful experience!

Yet here we are again, me working, Bug watching Tom and Jerry cartoons...
