Let's bag the fancy intro and cut to the chase: I got an 85% on my algebra exam. (Why do I suddenly feel like a fifth grader talking to her mother?) This is good news and bad news. The good news is, I can do algebra if I spend an hour a day working on it. The bad news? I have to spend an hour a day working on it. An hour is a very long time to devote to my enemy: math. I keep hearing from people that once you get it, doing equations can be really fun.
And you know what else can be really fun? Laundry. Stain removal can be very rewarding, as can ironing.
In other news: I wrote an article for the paper titled (and you may think this is a strange coincidence, but it really isn't since I titled both the article and this post) "I can do things that suck".
Next week is Thanksgiving break for both the children and I. Because none of us have to go to school I anticipate getting all sorts of work done. I anticipate this because, in case you haven't noticed, when I get alone time I veg. I only work when my family is at home. Maybe I work then so that I can show them what a good hard work ethic is all about--
--or maybe I work when they are home so that I don't give them impression that I have nothing to do and thus I am open to suggestions as to what we could do to entertain the kids.
2 things -- I agree -- 1) ironing both sucks and blows, and 2) I get 100% more done on days that my whole family is hounding me, I mean, Around, than otherwise. ;)

Nothing clears my house out faster than telling my two kids it's CLEANING DAY! Then suddenly the tvs are off and I hear them OUTSIDE playing....imagine that. Can't get them outside any other time.....
