This computer has eaten up my evenings and I'm still not getting anything done. So most of Paris Day 2 is written, but then I got sidetracked and started writing the Paris blog for my local website which isn't finished either, and then I found out that my yearbook staffers can each have their own log in and ID and do their pages completely on their own time on their home computers, so I've been trying to figure that out as well. All four girls attended school today, but their coughs still keep me up at night. Kirk has now missed 7 workdays and is miserable.

I think that my life could be like the Mouse and Cookie book...

"If you give a mom a project"...

She'll need a cup of coffee to help her through it,
So she'll go downstairs to make one, but she'll see the dishes in the sink and decide to load the dishwasher.
The sound of the dishwasher will remind her that the laundry needs to go in the dryer, but on the way to the laundry room, she'll trip over her daughter's special bunny, so she'll take the bunny back to her daughter's room.
Getting sentimental, she'll decide to surprise the girls by making up their beds.
While she makes up the beds, she'll find a moldy pumpkin stuck between the bed and the wall.
When she takes the pumpkin to the trash, she'll see the pot of coffee.
Seeing the pot of coffee, she'll pour herself a cup.
The coffee smell will remind her of the project that she has waiting upstairs.
When she goes upstairs, she will find that the computer has crashed.
While she's waiting for the computer to reboot, the phone will ring.
If she picks it up, it will be a friend - with another project.
If the friend asks, she'll say yes.
And, chances are, if she takes on another project,
She'll need an extra large mug of coffee to go with it.

Yes, it's rough... but it's almost midnight and I haven't had my second cup of coffee yet!

Quotes to consider...

For attractive lips, speak words of kindness. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
