I have about half that many things I should be doing.  I wish blogging were higher on the &#8220;have to be done&#8221; list instead of the &#8220;wish I could do&#8221; list.  I&#8217;m using my &#8220;set the timer&#8221; discipline trick for Adam on myself and this is messing around. Oops.  Don&#8217;t tell him.<\/p>\n<p>Life is returning to a semi-normal state around here.  No one would know that judging by the piles of papers and books and pictures surrounding me; but my brain knows.  It feels good.  Next week is going to feel twenty pounds better.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the extremely abbreviated version (long version may or may not happen because life goes on):<\/p>\n<p>Thanksgiving was a riot (literally on some days)<\/p>\n<p>My books came.  At least 100 of them went back out the door today and I&#8217;m working on the next batch.<\/p>\n<p>We all came home with varying degrees of illness.  Liam is the sickest.  I hope today was the worst day. <\/p>\n<p>Friday night we are hosting <a href=\"edenali.com\">Edenali&#8217;s<\/a> Christmas banquet here at our house.  Someone&#8217;s got some cleaning to do before then.<\/p>\n<p>The 9th law of parenting is that just when you find the perfect Christmas gift for your child who is obsessed with being a fireman, he will switch allegiance to science and declare himself an astronaut.  Today we went to visit the firestation to drum up some energy for the dying dream.<\/p>\n<p>And just because I&#8217;m on a long over-due organization kick I&#8217;m going to link my current favorite <a href=\"www.thetimekeeper.wordpress.com\">planner<\/a>.  Last week when I was making the turkey I ran out of salt.  Does it get any lower then that?  Proof that I really have been in overdrive for too long and quickly becoming inadequate in a lot of necessary areas.  I really, really like this planner.  Everything goes in there.  Menus, appointments, to do lists, birthdays &#8230; if it&#8217;s not in there, I forget it.  <\/p>\n<p>             ********************************************************************************<\/p>\n<p>I think the timers about to go and I am not done with the jobs I was supposed to be doing while I&#8217;m sitting here&#8230;. please don&#8217;t tell Adam.<\/p>\n<p>WHY are the linkies not working?  Must be the 9th law of blogging.  I guess you will have to copy and paste the oldfashioned way to find that planner.<br \/>http:\/\/thetimekeeper.wordpress.com\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are three million things tumbling around in my brain wanting to get out.
