Not much to report today except that my friend Darren FINISHED LAW SCHOOL!! WOO-HOO!! Way to go Darren!! I can't even begin to imagine how hard that must have been (ok, it would have been hard for me but probably not so much for Darren as he is super smart.) Whew!! Just thinking about school stresses me out.

We've been very busy around here lately. Planning J's birthday party, preparing for a potential flood, working extra days, PLUS this single parent thing is killing me! I don't think I really realized how good I had it until M wasn't able to help with the kids. Now I feel like I'm running around like a chicken with it's head cut off (nice expression!) but seriously - it's a lot of work for one person! M's recovering nicely from his surgery. He had his staples out yesterday and has been able to spend some well deserved, quiet time at home while the rest of us are at work and daycare. Hopefully he'll be back to normal (or close to it!) soon.
