| There's no place like -- home. |
| Date: 28th Mar |
| I love my home and my neighborhood. If I could choose another place, I think I'd have to choose a vacation cottage, not a new and different permanent year-round home. I love the outdoors, so a cabin or cottage in or near woods and water would be best. It could be north or south, east or west of my permanent address, but it would need to be simple,... |

And I feel rotten for feeling bad that I didn't get "my" day.... |

That can include knowing who to ask for help, knowing when to call the doctor, and understanding that coping alone isn't mandatory. I just want them to know how to take life by the horns without getting gored in the process. |

| Why do I work? |
| Date: 19th Jan |
| The ideal balance -- at least the balance I long for -- would be teaching half time. I could job share happily and put more energy into dealing with our disabled child. Unfortunately, I'm the primary breadwinner and the holder of the benefits, so part time work isn't an option. I compromise by fiercely garding my home time and using my sick days... |
