For the last two days they've been in school I've taken a long, fabulous nap in the late morning. So decadent and so wonderful, all at the same time. But at night I'm awake. Sigh.<BR/><BR/>laurie - I don't have a ghost. The kids THINK we have a ghost. Gee, could it be that book of ghost stories they hide under their bed??<BR/>Oh, and on the subject of homeschooling? I'd rather have a ghost.<BR/><BR/><BR/>diana- I like the idea of a granny cord, but I can't be responsible for what I might do with it. I did tell him I'd pick up his case and deliver it to school in my pajamas. That got his attention.<BR/><BR/><BR/>jen - the sad thing is that this is the smoothest it's ever been.

Maybe we'll just stop having kids now. I sympathize with your lack of sleep, RC. Maybe it will start to get smoother as the semester progresses!<BR/><BR/>Oh, and the code word today is: pyzdco.
