Now That’s How You Get Things Done

Really, you want to know the secret?  Send the kids to grandma and grandpa’s.  My MIL is coming to visit for Thanksgiving a week from today and we had to get the playroom turned into a guest room.  I know if you have been reading my blog for any length of time you will know [...]

What I Should Be Doing

My statistics homework.
Laundry
Dishes
Cleaning
Having coffee
Making/Eating breakfast
Playing with Noah

What am I doing?  Laying on the couch trying to keep my eyes open.  I am not feeling well and of course, I have a huge stats test tonight and a big assignment due tonight.  Bill is out of town and the kids have me on high energy alert.  [...]

A Sad Day
