Sorry I’ve been late with the last couple. My toddler had minor surgery, caught a cold and then passed it to the rest of us.
what I’m working on right now

- Killing it with Kana course – almost done with videos. I keep a spreadsheet of what I have to do as far as audio, video, PDF and lesson text. It’s nice seeing things get checked off.

conclusions/final thoughts
March was a loss work-wise.
I spent half of it sitting with the kids and doing work. Not the easiest thing in the world with them all over me.
It makes me realize I miss them even though I already spend several hours a day with them and sleep with them too.
Being a working mom is hard. Being the earner in the family is hard.
