Yea! The day has come & gone! I was more than ready to get that ceremony over with & on to Kyoto's for lunch... I was excited for the sushi & just relaxing...but as most know being a stay-at-home mom is not relaxing!!!
After my last final I have been kind of down...you would think I would be elated but not the case...I think school was such a part of my life that I feel like part of me is gone or something. I worry about the future more than ever & now that I am officially an adult, I don't have school to fall back on, as a crutch or something.
The past year I have become lax in my parenting, like our daily schedules and organizing art projects & such, so the last three days have been complicated and unorganized. The kids have me all to themselves & they are starting to catch on. yikes!
On a lighter note! :) I am thrilled to have a fun & care-free summer to re-evaluate our lives and re-establish daily family routines! The school chapter is closed, hopefully, and the next chapter is just beginning, makes you wanna sing "The rest is still unwritten..." luv that song!!!

read Dr. laura's new book, In Praise of stay at home moms. It is wonderful and will boost you right back into the zone.
Congratulations!
Way to Go!! I'm so proud of you! I am amazed that you made it through and have a great family. It's hard to be a student or a good mom, but to do both is admirable. Staying home is exhausting, but soooo worth it!
Congrats and wahoo!!! You did it!! That is such an accomplishment. I am truly awed by mothers who are able to go to school and parent. As far as the constant stay-at-home thing, I am constantly trying to figure out things and how to parent. As my kids change and circumstances change I have to revaluate how I mother them. Don't get down on yourself. You can do it. :)
btw...I loved your last post. Welcome to the Screaming Banshee Club. ;)
Way to Go! What a terrific accomplishment.
Hoorah!
One beautiful and educated Mama!
Congrats! That's a huge accomplishment! I know what you're talking about though. I'm not sure what life is without school, I've been doing it so long. Did you like Oklahoma State? I'm looking into their doctrate program.
CONGRATS!!!
That's seriously such a huge thing, I'm so uber-impressed (and more than a little jealous). I know what you mean about being done w/a phase of your life and being not sure what's in store, we're kinda there now too.
As for the mom stuff, you're such a fabulous mom already, so I'm sure it won't take you too too long to re-establish routines.
ps-congrats about the new calling ;) We'll be in touch.
