Hi NikiD. Welcome! We're so glad you've joined Work it, Mom! Loved reading about your kids - they sound so cute and it's great you thrive off being around them. On the down side--wow, you have such a heavy workload. I don't know how your stress meter is so low all things considered!! :) Hope you will come back often to chat/vent about it. I'm a moderator for the site. Here are a couple of places I really recommend you check out:
