Time to Catch my Breath

Today I finally got my midterm paper in Professor Jones and finished my Business Law test. Those were two major bites taken off my plate, but it is still full. If I don't get some writing done on my senior paper soon, Professor Armstrong will flog me with a wet noodle.He's up there with my mother for the guilt trip dispatcher of the year.Why is it so annoying to hear someone you respect tell you that you are not doing what you know you are supposed to do?

I took a break last night and filled out a note on Facebook where you ask your kids to answer some questions about their Mom. I learned a few things:

1)When you are the primary picture snapper in your family there aren't many pictures of you with each of your children individually for you to post on Facebook. There are group pictures of varying configurations, but not many of you. I have decided that for my graduation present, I want to have a picture taken with each of my children.
2)My kids don't know me very well.They think they do and act like they do, but they don't.I really need to invest some time connecting with my kids and help them know more about me.
3)My kids see me as someone who is always busy doing something and incapable of just sitting still. Interesting!
4)When asked what we do together, the unanimous answer was talk. I always thought it was important to make myself approachable enough to my kids that they felt they could talk to me about anything. Mission Accomplished, I guess.
5)When asked what cartoon character I reminded them of, none of the characters they mentioned were funny and all of them were from old cartoons - sigh!

Well, that is enough standing still for me. My senior paper is screaming to be written.
