Mama always said there'd be days like these

Awake at 1:30 am.

Still awake at 2:30 am.

Turned on the light to read until 3:00 am.

Mind racing with "stuff".

Prayed and pleaded for two more hours of sleep.

Coffee at 5:30 am.

Mesopotamia projects to grade. Explorer projects to grade.

Science test to prepare for. Two social studies tests to prepare for. Math test to prepare for.

Big (big) biography reports to be completed (two different ones).

Novel to finish (Fever 1793 - it's good - kids and I really like it!).

Five meetings in the next week.

Emails to send and reply to. Physical therapy to get to. Phone calls to make.

I'm tired already.

And in the midst of all this? A birthday dinner for my mom. American Idol on tv. Yay!

And coffee. God bless the coffee!
