(you guys keep me going!)
~ Taking care of a sick child.
(JCH is feeling MUCH better-Thank You Internet for all of your well wishes and concern.)
~ Helping said sick child catch up on 3 days worth of homework.
(is it just me, or is there way too much homework for kids these days?)
~ Final tweaking of Chapter Three.

(a girl’s gotta live a little.)
And so on. And so on. And so on. It never ends.
But, since I would never want to disappoint ya’ll…I have some kick ass linky goodness. I hope you will appreciate these as much as I did.
1. Over on my ‘Other Blog’ I have a surprise totally super awesome special guest appearance post that you do NOT want to miss.
And
2. Everyone should really needs to read a little something called ” ‘Verb’atim.” This post is a most excellent laugh out loud introduction on ‘how to’ incorporate New Verbs (using celebrities and or television characters) into the every day English Language. Yes. Way!
Dammit, schools DO give too much homework nowadays. Not to mention kids have to be Hercules to get the books home. I can’t remember much from high School, but I can remember the muscles I developed in my shoulders from lugging all that knowledge home.
Jillian:
Um yeah. What is UP with THAT? Too much homework can turn kids off to learning. Duh. Not to mention back aches from all those books. Yikes.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, linky goodness?
YES!!!
Michael C:
But of course!! xxoo 🙂
I feel ya. I’ve got more going on than I can even keep up with, so you’re way ahead of the game!
xoxo
I love you. Happy Wednesday this crazy hectic week is halfway over for you!
You are too funny. I love the run down. Glad your child is feeling better. I heard of a study a while back of how much work they give kids these days. Many are getting stressed out and going through depression. Also, there was a study on how many books children carry and said children suffering from back problems.
I’ll check out the link goodness.
Yes. Way! LOL… Love it.
Phew!…I’ve been having trouble getting into your blog…WTF?!?
My son (13) has been down with the fever/sore throat/flu thing too…and YES the kids nowdays are given WAY too much homework! He missed 4 days of school & will be doing homework for the next week just to catch up. Glady our boys are both feeling better now….
Diva:
I try. I try.
BFF:
Toads. Half way done.
Urban:
It was the only thing I had time to write!! Thanks for the kind words about my boy. And yeah homework is OUT OF CONTROL. I have feeling its going to take the two of us the whole damn night to get this finished. Geeeez.
Olga:
Ive been having trouble getting into MY OWN blog too. I hate when my ‘server’ is slow or down or whatever the fuck it is that makes it impossible to GET INTO MY BLOG.
Hope YOUR baby feels better! Awwww…..thats terrible!! 🙁
Sheeeeeeeeeeesh, is there some sort of massive epidemic this year?
I think I might need to write an entire post on the homework situation. (and a post on the widespread outbreak of long lasting sicknesses.) Since I have so much ‘spare time’ to write….
You know, after reading everyone else’s comments, I look like a huge insensitive ass for not feeling your pain this week. I am sorry about that
😉
Woohoo you’re one busy lady. Can’t wait for chapter three!
MichaelC:
What? No you aren’t. Besides you shouldered some of the load for me by writing that great guest post!
Lis:
I am crazy busy. But its a good thing. I will let you (and everyone else) know when Chpt 3. is posted. 🙂
Ok, I’ll be an ass tomorrow then.
😉
I’m glad to hear JCH is on the mend….as for you: Shred the paperwork, eat the ice cream and I can’t wait for Chapter 3!!!
I TOTALLY agree that they give waaay too much homework…my daughter is only 5 years old and we spend at least an hour every night on home work. When I was 5 my homework was playing with my Easy Bake oven!!!
Sounds like you ARE busy…aren’t all working Moms??
Michael C:
You? An Ass? Never.
Chef Mom:
Paper work pile getting smaller, I am housing the Ice cream and killing myself over Chpt. 3! xxoo xxoo
Random Chick:
Yes we are! Working moms are mad crazy busy!!! All The Time.
Okay Okay thats the THIRD comment on the subject. Now I am going to have to write an entire post about the homework and how its probably the cause of ADD and depression and who knows what else.
Oh! I LOVED my easy bake oven…but even my family knew back then…I’d never be able to cook anything!
Thanks for dropping by!
Final tweaking of Chapter Three!
Yaaaaaaay!
I’ve been waiting waaaay tooo long 🙂
Cannot wait for chapter 3! I read your other two to my husband and he is totally absorbed in your story as well! I know it will be well worth the wait. Meantime, isn’t it fun brushing up on your skills while doing homework with the kids? I know I am thoroughly enjoying my second round with algebra this year while helping my son and having not done it since I was in 7th grade many moons ago!
Glad the boy is feeling better. Yay for the new chapter. And I completely agree about homework – there is far too much. Drives me crazy!
Dawn:
Chapter Three is ALMOST ready…..ALMOST. Sorry for the long ass wait. I waiting for the Muse to return…and now that she has, I am riding this out!
Beth:
Really? Your husband even read it? Thats awesome!
The homework is harder on me than my son, I have no idea what the hell is happening! Thankfully JCH can go to my father for Math & Science and my mother for English and his own father for History….Apparently, I cant help!
Selma:
Im so glad hes feeling better too! The homework is ridiculous.
