SMBP - EME

Oh dear! It's been weeks, weeks, since I made a blog post! Guess I should get busy with an Early Saturday Morning Bullet Post...

  • Back to school has been a mite (read whole heck of a lot) busier than in previous years.


  • Fourth grade is one of those years where you notice the increase in the amount of homework and studying required.
  • Not that I am complaining, mind you.


  • I approve of homework. I assign it myself all the time.


  • Between the increased academic load and cross country practice and tae kwon do class and Girl Scouts, Neatnik is one busy kid.


  • Which means I am one busy Mommy.


  • Compound the grammar school business with the college business and I am one busy prof trek.


  • I mentioned back in August that we have upgraded to Windows 7and Office 2010.and that I invested in a new laptopbecause my old computer was struggling to meet the challenge.


  • All of that upgrading meant I needed to configure the new laptop, including backing up all of my old data and installing all of the software I need to support my classes.


  • It also meant working up new slides for lecture and learning the ins and outs of the upgraded Office suite and doing all the homework and lab assignments and practice tests for myself.


  • Yeah,busy. It would be less time consuming to devote myself to full-time preparation for the zombie apocalypse.


  • In between all of the preparations, I've been trying to get outside to log some mileage.


  • I wore a pair of my skinny jeans the other day!
Well, I was going to work on bullets until the rest of the household roused and since Neatnik just came bouncing down the stairs, it must be time for breakfast. Hope you have a drier weekend than we are.

Hey, glad to see you!

One of my boys started middle school this year and the other started high school. It's been...a challenge.
