submission... SUBMISSION...
If I wrote a master's, idle-edle-eldel-idle-edle-idle-o, all day long I'd sit there with research, and I'd go slightly in-SAANNNEEE... I wouldn't get to sleep - no...
Okay, enough of that. The first draft has been submitted. Usually these things get rejected a few (hundred) times, and then one is allowed to pass. I only know two individuals who ever got it right on the first submission, one of which is my current professor. In the mean time, I have four days to "relax" until the next semester begins. "Hi kids, I'm your father."

Like an orange on a toothpick!
#3's head is like sputnik, round and pointy in parts. She crys herself to sleep on her uge pillow. Look at the size of that thing - it's like an orange on a toothipick. So she is up to the 75% in weight, and yet the only large part of her body is her head. Like a watermelon...

Dementors
The first draft of the Master's is complete. Let the shredding and restarting begin. Bring on the editing dementors to suck the life out of my writing...
Chuck
Went to Chuck E Cheese after dinner last night for some good family time. Dad enjoyed some pinball while #1 and 2 rode the cars and won some stickers. Good quality time.

Tunnel Vision
There is a high probability, that just maybe, perhaps, perchance, is is conceivable, that I might have finished my research for my master's project. Let the writing cramps begin...

Retreat
Reinforcements have left the state, and much like a soon-to-be-democratic-presidential-withdraw-from-Iraq-fallout, the home has already entered into a police state of gorilla warfare. The gorilla would be #2, the warfare would include #1's books and dolls, and all remaining forces are busy with the #3 front. Ahh, it's good to be at work... Maybe I'll have to stay a couple hours extra today... :)
