So I made up for my laziness yesterday by going into overdrive today, but I got sooooo much accomplished. Another example of how I work well under pressure. At this moment, I feel ready for the upcoming week, which is a good feeling.

But.

Keep me and my kids in your prayers this week. We are wrapping up the first half of the school year and have District Quarterly exams this week. This always causes an increase in tension, as the kids are "tested to the max" and the teachers are anxiously wondering how much what we have taught has stuck.

And so it begins again....
