I’m a mom and I’m an adjunct professor at a couple of different online institutions. This is a very different life than the one that I imagined when I was in grad school and I’m all about trying to figure out how to negotiate this life and make it as wonderful and as happy as possible.
Cast of characters:
Adjunctmom: A somewhat overworked mother of two.
P: spouse of adjunct mom. Busy professional who is on call 24/7 which makes for a very interesting life.
Ben: 3 1/2 year old son of adjunctmom. Very smart child who is not interested in potty training but who is eager to go to school.
Katie: 3 month old daughter of adjunctmom. She smiles, she coos, she eats, sleeps, and makes messes in her diaper. She just figured out this week how to play with her own hands.
Sam: almost 11 year old Labrador retriever. Has back problems and emotional issues that necessitate daily medication.
Peyton: 3 1/2 year old Labrador retriever. Sweet dog if a little undisciplined.
