Wordy Girls

my older daughter (15!) has chickenpox, and my husband is home sick from work with a cold/flu that has dragged on forever (though yesterday was the first sick day he took).

Working at home is terrific, except when real life intrudes, and your office becomes a sick bay!

I am so tired and listless I suspect I'm coming down with something too, but I have no time to get sick. You all know how that is! I wish I could say to germs, "Excuse me, I have way too many deadlines this month. Can I pencil you in for early October, when I have time for a couple of sick days?" 

Wouldn't that be nice?

So, back to the grindstone. Another day of doing geometry/algebra with sick daughter while trying to get at least 2/3 of the stuff on my to-do list done (and failing).

Thanks for all the offers of blog help. You guys are so nice. This week, I'm just putzing along, adding friends like mad (thank you!). Once the dust settles (or maybe that will be chickenpox scabs--eeuuuuuw), I'll be making some changes to the blog appearance and will likely be coming to you guys for help. You rock!
