balancing act

Just in case you were wondering, I am still working on school. I am currently working on my written comps. What that means is that I have to write a 25-30 page publishable paper. It is due at the end of May. 

I spent today reading, studying, and writing an abstract all while either nursing Ezra, trying to get him to stay asleep, or with Isaiah jumping on the bed (only for the last 10 minutes). 

This is the balancing act that is my life, but I have to say I love it all too much to let any of it go. 

Just in case you want to know (or if your name is Heather Lowcock) my paper is entitled "Where is my little one?": Race, Power, and Motherhood in Kate Chopin's Fiction.
