I used to call myself a 98% SAHHM (stay-at-home homeschooling mom) but now it's 85% or less 'cause I'm always on the road or at the gym (an hour's drive from home) with my son, 13, a competitive gymnast. His brother, 10, and sister, 7, come along. I've a Bachelor's from the Eastman School of Music in trumpet, the latter which makes me a few bucks (not at home, but I practice at home), as does my small home studio of private students. Sometimes I dabble in photography. More often I blog, which, believe it or not, helps keeps me sane.
