Yesterday was one of the busiest days at my new job. Seriously, I barely talked to my coworkers - I saw clients all day - barely looked outside my window. My head was swimming with numbers. Today is a short day but guarantees to be just as busy. The skies are blue and I am hoping that the sun melts the snow that is covering up the spot where the SNOW DROPS are supposed to be growing.
My daughter had a disaster of a day herself. She badly miscalculated her science quiz. Meltdown occurred. Why is life so hard? Why doesn't she get things quickly - why does she have to study so hard.... reality check required. Do you REALLY believe you have been putting in your best effort? Because, I beg to differ. We called it a night. Will come up with new game plan on the weekend.
My son still sounds as though he is on death's door but promises he feels much better. Missed assignments have been communicated. He should be back at school Monday.
Monday - I am on a strict clear liquid diet in preparation for a lovely physical exam. I cannot tell you how excited I am about that.
Sunday is Forgiveness Sunday Vespers and the last day to eat cheese. We are having a good meal with good friends. I look forward to it.

oi vey. poor boy. mine is sick too. it's a slow and lingering sickness too that has him lethargic, sleeping, and throwing up occasionally. ugh.
our oldest was complaining about the same thing: "why does it have to be so hard???", and we had to break the sad truth to her that it was never going to get any easier, only harder, from here until the end.
yeah. i hear you. had a really intense day of work on Thursday...
school was always hard for me too - i had to work hard to get good grades - and i was never an "A"s student like some - but it is not always easy to judge when we are working 'hard' and when we are not.
hope your son feels better soon; it is hard to be so sick...
Happy Beginning of Lent!
Forgive me, a sinner.
Awwww. My week has been close. Except for that physical exam. Oh ick. Hope it turns out well and you never have to do it again!
