another life lesson

This has been a long week.

Productive, but long. I somehow managed to steal an "office day" on Monday, which means that the kids were NOT in the house and I could catch up on work for a day. I didn't really get everything done, but most. Then yesterday I amazingly got an extra two hours of alone time because it was an exam day with my college class ( which = early out) so I finished most everything left.

What a GREAT and totally FOREIGN feeling.

Last night I had no stress except for the perpetual mommy-child struggle. We went to daddy's baseball game and embarrassed him by backtalking in front of his players: "Dad- how many times do I have to tell you this?!" I have no idea where N has head that before :)
We got home, got the kids bathed and asleep and I even went to bed early.

And that is a good thing because I started myself awake at 5 am on tax day and realized that though our personal income taxes have been done for weeks, the quarterly estimated tax for my business has not.
fail.
So actually, I am not caught up at all. Such is life
