Okay, here you all go. Since everyone is laying on me to post, here's what I posted on one of my message boards. This should keep you going until I can really blog. Note the 8 hrs involved in the below activity...now do you see why I don't have the mental dexterity to come up with something witty like I used to? Don't read too fast. This has to keep you going...
As many of you know, I am childless and studentless this week. School is out for the week (heaven forbid that they should expect students to actually show up for the three days between two three day weekends) so I don't have to go to work this week. The boys' tuition is paid for the month and they love school, so I've decided to keep them in it and get some work done. I've just spent the last 8 hrs in Starbucks and churned out a ridiculous amount of work!!! I've written five short papers today (about 12 or 13 pages worth) while sitting here, that includes all the research I had to do for them. It would have taken me five nights to get that much done working from 8-11. I'd have had to wait until the boys were in bed and I'd be so tired my concentration would have been shot. I can't even begin to tell you how good it feels to be this productive. I almost feel like I have the intellectual capability that I did in college (pregnancy and motherhood have done some irreversible damage). My a$$ hurts from sitting here all day but I feel great. Oh and I'm starving b/c I worked through lunch---and breakfast for that matter. The venti Chai Latte went a long way. I can't wait to see how much work I get done tomorrow. At this rate, I might come out to play by Thurs. Okay...I just had to make that declaration! AHHH FREEDOM!!! And mental acuity!

You have definitely earned your Chai Latte vacay. =)

Isn't life weird!
If I had suggested when you were 17 and just starting college that one day you would actually LOVE to sit and do lots of homework, you would have thought I had lost my mind....
Congratulations on doing so much in only one day. Enjoy the freedom while you can.
LOL your mom is soooo right! And yeah for time off. It's icy here so I sent the kids to school and then cancelled my class, sssshhh don't tell Mike :o)
Wow you are a busy lady! Glad you are plugging along and almost done. Yep, building a new house. We should be in by Dec 1st. Went with a builder so we could have it done faster, but Dave designed the place himself. Dave will just be doing the hardwood floors and interior painting. You should see my yard today! The new house will be behind our current house that we'll knock down eventually. Thanks for checking in on me! Hope you get rest soon!
Dear Maria,
Thank you so much for praying for us and for leaving the sweet comment on our blog. You said, " Please know that there are many of us who, even though we may not know you, are trying to help shoulder this incomprehensible burden. " You cannot imagine what comfort that brings to us. Your family is precious and I too had been stalking your blog through Liz for a while. Blog world is pretty amazing when you need help through prayer...we appreciate you so much.
