Wow! What a weekend!

I'm back from the trip to the state capitol and I'm exhausted! I thought it was going to be an easy going trip... you know, just hanging around - watching the students compete and helping out where needed - no big deal. Well, boy was I wrong! I ended up on night duty - 12 a.m. to 6 a.m. - helping out in the "office" and patrolling for curfew violators. It was a lot of fun, but my sleep schedule is so whacked out that it will take me a week to get back on track. I got an average of 4 hours of sleep per night and most of that sleep was between 7 am and noon. I arrived home to a sick child. Franklin had gotten sick (throwing up/fever sick) while I was gone and ended up missing school both Friday and yesterday. Truman has an ear infection also. Then, to top it all off - between the lack of sleep & stress, I came home with a migraine and ended up praying to the porcelain god myself a few times. Not cool! So, I arrived home from my trip on Sunday, returned to work on Monday and hosted a staff retreat for my new job all day today. Whew! Today was the 15th day of work IN A ROW and I still have 3 more before I get a full day off. When will this job transition end?!?!?

On a more pleasant note, I got some pretty fun pictures this past weekend (I'll try to post them soon) and I really like my new job. :o) Life is good... even when it's crazy & chaotic and I'm longing for a quiet day at home... life is good.

And... I got a really cool book on sale this weekend at Barnes & Noble that I've been wanting to read since 1999 - "The Millionaire Next Door". I've just begun and it's not going to be as entertaining of a read as the Dave Ramsey book, but it should be interesting.
