Good grief!

I've had an incredibly busy week, and am practically forcing myself to post this message now simply to let you know I'm alive. I have a terrible habit of obligating myself to more than I can easily handle. Typically, this isn't a problem, but when you have a baby in the belly, it makes it really difficult.

I agreed to teach an 8 week course for another institution. It meets twice each week for 3 hours each session. I drive an hour or so each way to get there, so that makes it an even longer excursion. I agreed to this gig before I knew that all I'd really want to do is sit around on my couch. Luckily, it'll allow us to pay Mark's lasik surgery in full-- May 8th is the day for him-- so we won't have an added monthly payment when Parker is here.

Other than that, I'm just pushing through each week. Every weekend in April is filled with something to do. This weekend is my community college homecoming, and since I teach here and advise multiple student organizations, I'm obligated to enjoy myself!

Hope y'all are well-- I will make time to get caught up on you....in between tackling the mountain of grading I've yet to complete. *sigh*
