A peek into my day. Granted, it is still a sweet gig, but being on my feet from 6:18AM until 4:27PM is wearing me, and my tennis shoes, out...

Phew - what a busy schedule. Getting it done though! Well done.
I dunno, but I'm pretty sure I would have like, half this many entries if I were to do it.
Wow!
I know the feeling, I felt that way last year with a toddler, a son in pre-k, and a first grader. It does get better with 2 kids going to school all day long.
Once again...
I feel your pain mate! :)
