What is even happening?

Plei, that's what I was wondering. I kind of want to put my head down and cry at the thought of all this.

I think Plei has a good point about the nanny. Maybe you can start researching at the NICU, to see if the nurses/doctors know what other families have done? Also, maybe there's a parents-of-preemies group where you can make some contacts.

(Sometimes, crying helps. I'm just saying.)

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Driving down to PA to see my Mom!

Which means I had a bunch of tasks to get in order today. Most importantly, I cleaned off my home office desk, or at least got it organized into more-or-less orderly piles. Which I'm not sneering at.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

So what are people doing this weekend?

Job hunting. I'm getting a little panicky. I'm almost done student teaching and have very few good prospects. I've got my resume out to a crapload of districts, but so far not much response. ACK! I need a JOB!

In fact, I need a job so badly, I said it twice.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

So what are people doing this weekend?

Taking many many naps. I'm about to fall asleep at my desk, and for some reason office services STILL has not installed the hammock I requested.

Coding and Sleeping

Cleaning out the garage.

Working on a Methodist blog website, hopefully finishing it.

Editing commercials out of recorded video.

Working out.

Taking care of kids, maybe some park going if the weather is good.

Cleaning around the house.

Might upgrade my computer to Kubuntu 7.04 if I have time.

So what are people doing this weekend?

Going to my last grad school class ever. Too bad my paper isn't finished.

Definitely nanny. I'd bet there are good agencies in LA that can send you people 1) short-term-ish and 2) experienced with preemies. It'll cost the earth, but so would center-based care, and if you only have to pay for 4 months a year...

This weekend I am going to help amyth move stuff, go to her open house, and (please) mow the lawn. Maybe plan beans and carrots if I get my ass in gear.

Casper just said, "Hypersleep is a very long sleep, isn't it." Where does she get this stuff?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

So what are people doing this weekend?

Stupid but necessary stuff. Then sleeping.
