One week Count Down

Alex's 2nd grade year starts a week from tomorrow. This coming week we have open house, final closet makeover, school supply re-check, lunch box menu testing, Hurricane Dean prepping, Hurricane Dean effects, three days of teaching for me, Casey at home with bugman for mega Daddy time, the Rain gutter Regatta, shoelace tying testing, sprained ankle nursing, muffin shots and grooming, office cleaning, multiple doctor's appointments, and massive laundry. We will be busy, but we are all together this week and despite my eternal hormonal grumpiness I am happy to have my family.

Move away from the distraction.

With a calendar that looks like that, BUSY, and temptation sitting to the side, February's Poppy Ink kit, I am having a hard time focusing on the real work. So I am going to go cart myself downstairs with my laptop, power cord, 5 books to prep for new classes and the TW Adult Alternative channel on the tv. Dang it, what's for dinner???
