Kid in a scramble, kid with a smile

Just when I begin to feel overwhelmed, I look at my kid's senior-year home stretch.

In the next nine weeks: Class trip, prom, AP exams, graduation. Then there's our family trip, and a trek to college for orientation. And that doesn't include a weekend away and other related activities with her religious group.

Meanwhile, she goes to the gym regularly, hangs out with friends and helps chauffeur our 10-year-old.

I'd think some teens would live the melodrama, but that hasn't happened ... at least yet. And in the long run, learning to juggle is a highly underrated skill -- as many of you out there likely know.
