   More likely when the three of you get settled into a sort of daily   
   routine . . .   
      
   When I started posting (in September 2001) I had a daughter at 2½   
   years, a son af 5, one of 6 and a son at 10 years of age (yup, that's   
   four children to my name).  The youngest will turn 13 next month (and   
   the oldest turned 20 last summer), but while I, too, thought that I   
   would never again find any time when we had just had the first, one   
   learns to manage time differently (though it's been really great being   
   able again to dig into a subject for hours at a time -- that is   
   something that's come back over the past few years).   
      
   So, don't despair, the light is closer than you might think ;-)
