Sit... good... roll over...
#3 has begun to roll over from her stomach to her back, which is not helpful, since she does not like sleeping on her back. A great scholar named murphy once wrote a law...

Shark Week
I think Discovery Channel's shark week left an impression on #1. Yesterday she prayed over the food, adding a plea to "make sure our house does not flood, and no sharks or bears attack us". All I can say to that is "amen".

Fiddler on the roof reprise
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...
