Back to our Regularly Scheduled...

Sarcasm Girl had finals last week, and Younger Girl celebrated her 10th birthday (when did birthdays become a multi-day extravaganza? The child turned ten on Tuesday, but the celebration seemed to go on forever. In my day, they gave you a piece of dry toast and didn't beat you that night...) which included the Epic Sleepover on Saturday night, during which no one slept, especially me. Also, the girls had no school last Friday (a staff development day). So things have felt a little supercharged or out of kilter or something. Today the girls went back to school and I was so drowsy I kept falling asleep over my laptop (I'm sure the nice people at the coffee shop were amused). And tonight I'm back in my position as Homework Nazi. It is my fervent hope that things will get back to something like normal. And that I'll get a little sleep.
