Finished!!!
My assignment is done thank GOD! Today was a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. Madison slept poorly, therefore I slept poorly. She woke me at 3am by peeing out of her diaper and all over me, all over herself, and all over my side of the bed. Then I woke up with a stiff neck and a really bad attitude. We had a day full of errands and Madison rediscovered her hatred for the car seat — something we thought she was out-growing. I didn’t get much work done and headed out for a family dinner with my long-lost brother in a panic that I’d be up all night.
But here it is, just midnight and I turned the piece in twenty minutes ago.
Life is suddenly very, very good.


Really, I swear there’s some evil influence in the air making it very very difficult to get work done–is it the approaching Solstice, the fact that Venus tried to eclipse the sun last week, or humidity seeping into brain cells and making them laaaaazy.
Your success gives me even more hope that I, too, will be able to write the words “finished” and “turned in.”
Yes, whatever it is has reached the Bronx, too. I’ve been procrastinating more than working this week. I seem to be making some headway, though.
Until you and Dooce, I never knew that babies peed and pooped so hard that it would escape their diapers. Now I know.
Congratulations on finishing your article. You must feel much lighter now that you don’t have that hanging over your head.
Yeah! Congrats!
