I usually just wing it, but my husband wants to put our 12 year old into summer school, which means pick up and drop off for me. This could get tricky since I run two businesses that keeps me very busy. I'm always on call, designing or sewing. I don't want to think about it but he would not leave it alone all in one. Love my kids, but all i can see is more work, god help me
