Honestly....where is the planet with 30 hours to a day???? Instead of bombing the moon looking for water http://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/space/10/09/probe.moon.crash/index.html, let's find the planet that will accomodate my in-excess-of 24-hour-a-day schedule!! I couldn't make it to the Twitter follow up session on Tuesday(BUMMER!!!) I didn't have anyone to watch Chandler. Clarke was getting her hair done for her senior pictures on Thursday and Quentin was working. So Chandler and I went home alone and waited for everyone else to trickle in. Honestly, I can't remember what we did. (Note to self - invest in some ginko biloba!!!) Clearly, I should have gotten in the bed immediately, but somehow that is never how it works out!!! Wednesday was the college fair at Clarke's school. She attends Boston Latin School, which is the #27 high school in the country according to U.S. News and World Report http://www.usnews.com/articles/education/high-schools/2008/12/04/best-high-schools-gold-medal-list.html?PageNr=1. It goes without saying how proud I am of her. At any rate, about 150 schools were there and we got to make some name/face connections with some of the admissions personnel of a few of the schools on her list. Thursday is Chandler's weekly visit to the Jimmy Fund http://www.jimmyfund.org/. If you live in New England, you know immediately what that is, but for those of you who are not so familiar, the Jimmy Fund is the pediatric center of the Dana Farber Cancer Institute. This is where we spend every Thursday morning as well as an occasional Monday morning - depending on the results of Thursday's lab work. I thank God for my job. As it turns out, I work 1/2 days on Mondays and Thurdays because by the time we get out of there and I get her dropped off to the sitter's and I get to work, it's 1pm. However, yesterday ran long because they changed some medicines and she got an hour long infusion of a new medicine so I missed work yesterday. Again, I should have gone straight home and climbed into my bed, but instead, I picked Clarke up from school and she took me to lunch. Today is Friday, which generally means youth service at church for us. Tomorrow is the SAT, so no lounging around then. Sunday is an informational session with USC, and Monday, the holiday, we're going to Syracuse for the day, which brings us right back to the start of a new work week. If you are close with any children of napping age, encourage- no, demand - that they get all the naps that they can because when they are someone's parent, employer, spouse, confidant, carpool driver, etc later in life, they will long for mat time at 1pm!!!!! Be blessed!!!!
