Have you ever had what Oprah has called an 'a-ha moment?' A point in time where you thought wow, I feel dumb, that wasn't as easy as I thought it was going to be.

I missed a call from the school, the dreaded oh-my-gosh-what-did-my-kid-do-now-call? When I realized it, I called the office at the school and pr…
