Trying to make it!!! (and NOT fake it)

Just a quick update, folks.  That's all I have time for this week.  Maybe more on Friday, when my co-workers are taking me out for a drink to say goodbye.

Only two weeks of school left.  I can do this.  I can do this well. 
 JUST. KEEP. SWIMMING!

Tomorrow is my 4th annual poetry slam, as well as my son's 7th birthday.  I need to make 27 designer (mud/worms) cupcakes tonight.  Finals start on Friday, Europe trip meeting tonight, and Europe trip chaperoning 20 students begins in two weeks.

The house is a mess.  The laundry has been neglected.  The gardens aren't all planted (let alone DUG UP) yet.  More time, I need more time.  Preferably 36 hours in a day.  Please.  Put in that order for me.

I should hear on June 14th whether or not I was accepted for the Renegade Craft Fair in Chicago.

I'm tired.  Exhausted really.  But the end of the tunnel is IN SIGHT!!!!!!
