- I got two short manuscripts in the mail (well, as soon as I go to the post office) and wrote cover letters for the book manuscript. Unfortunately, I realized that the corrected version of my writing sample is on campus computer, so I email the cover letters to myself, instead of the intended recipients, so I remember to add the right attachment on Monday. This is work I dread and loathe, so I deserve quite the pat on the back for getting it done.
- In this year of living gracefully, I did not send a snarky reply to my senior colleague, whose email deserved a snarky reply. Instead, I cussed her out while I was in the shower and washed all that snarkiness down the drain with the shampoo.
- My yoga teacher. She's just one of those people with wonderful energy that I could stay around forever.
- Two obligations were cancelled this afternoon, which is nice, because I'm sort of freaking out about LG's party tomorrow and the current state of our house.
- LG's daycare. LG's school is closed today--she gets 3 freaking days of for President's Day/mid-winter break--but thankfully as a kindergartener she can still go back to her old daycare. So worth that $45 for me to be able to get things done, and for her to play with her friends. (Of course, that also meant I needed to bake cake #3 last night!)

I really like your blog because you tell it like it is. Sometimes I get tired of putting on a happy face and telling everyone that my life as an SMC is a piece of cake. Thanks for helping me remember to keep it real.
ReplyDeletePS. Can empathize about the birthday stress--both my boys have theirs this month--I think I'm throwing six parties total!
Lara, thanks so much for your comment! It's certainly not easy being an SMC--heck, it's not easy being a parent at all!--but I wouldn't have it any other way. How old are your boys?
