I work and organizing all the camps and day care in the summer is so stressful and makes me feel so bad -- I can't help but always regret at that moment that I am away from home so much. In the school year, I at least know they are learning and occupied just like all the other kids. I have to admit, when the school bus comes, I heave a huge sigh of relief.

Once we grow up into adults we all have so many responsibilities it's easy for us to forget that often the answer to a problem is right in front of us, and often what we learn when we look right there in front of us is that the problem is not real at all, but of our own making!
