Today, I am the Mom of 4 and Ninny (Grandmother) to 5 (so far). All grandchildren have cereal nicknames. These are (in order of birth): Sugar Pops, Corn Pops, Cheerios, Oatmeal and Buttermilk Biscuit. I earned my BS in Psychology in 2005 and a MSW in 2009.

<description><![CDATA[When it comes to time management and students, one of the most difficult things in the world to master is that of creating a sustainable plan... you know one that will provide the best chance at survival especially if you are... as I was... a nontraditional student. I mean... let's face it... we start out with the most honest and honorable intentions... "I'm going to get up early and study" or "I'm going to stay up late to study." ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Pairing tasks which require mental concentration with those that I could do while semi-conscious is the only effective form of multitasking that I can do.
