Max got into The Mandell School

10 schools, tours, applications (and their fees), interviews, recommendations, open houses ... and it is over and we got our first choice. Little Max is going to Mandell. We are soooo thrilled.

Today, I am amazed at the balance ...

I got my son up, had a breakfast meeting, had a very energizing work conference call/meeting... all without coffee... and feel jazzed to power through the rest of the day. My office closes at 3 pm and I have a date with my post-partum doula. We check in every few months and it is always a joy to spend time with her. The weekend starts soon and although a chunk of it will be spent with my son at a nursery school playgroup/interview ... I am ready for family time. I am always hungering for nanny free, uninterrupted play by Friday. Bring it on!
