Productive Thursday
Currently Reading
The Host: A Novel
By Stephenie Meyer
see relatedSheesh, it's been a wierd week. So, my kid started full-time daycare for the first time last Thursday, and was of course, sick over the weekend and all this week with a fever that he no doubt contracted in his FIRST TWO FREAKING DAYS there! This is just our luck, and the fate of all children regularly around other groups of children, but damn if it ain't frustrating as a parent. At least D and I didn't get sick this time.
So, I spent my birthday exhausted after working, then having to come home and take care of my kid. Thankfully my mom helped out six hours that day (Tuesday) so I could sleep some before having to work again that night. The birthday was redeemed by this book coming out that very day (which I considered a personal cosmic b-day present just for me), which I'd been seriously counting down the days, I was so excited about it. Work flew by reading it, and I even stayed up a couple extra hours when I got home in the morning to finish it. It did not disappoint. I think it's the best novel by Stephanie Meyer yet, as far as writing goes. It's theoretically sci-fi, but is more about relationships and the psychology of, well, body-snatching aliens.
Today I have been a very serious and productive student-like person, going to writer's group and then agonizingly dragging my ass to go study instead of going back home to the deliciousness of my pillow. The coffeeshop is emptied out, since most kids in this college town are done with finals and emptying out of the city in droves. I finished another lesson, now done with 4 of 11, and all the others have flown by much quicker than aforementioned damnable poetry one (which I still have yet to get the grade for - I assume this is because the teacher was so blown away by how amazing my answers were she assumed that I was plagarizing from somewhere).

Happy Birthday!
I saw your blog when I was browsing blogrings. Good luck with all of your finals and such! LOVE the hair cut. Hope you kiddo is feeling better.

Well, another way to look at it is that he'll be getting some childhood illnesses out of the way sooner. I know I felt utterly miserable when my daughter had either chicken pox or the mumps while still in diapers, but the doctor assured my that, while seeing our baby like that made us miserable, she would've been much more miserable is she'd had the same illness years later.
As for the poetry assignment, you rock!
Way to be productive. I am being unproductive at the moment, blogging, but hey, you will like my comment (you will, you must) and productivity is a matter of perspective; to you, I am being productive.
I need to read something S. Meyer at some point, sometime. You know they're making a movie?
"the deliciousness of my pillow"
If that isn't a title, I don't know what is.
"but is more about relationships and the psychology of, well, body-snatching aliens."
LOL! Love it. Happy birthday to you, btw.
All I ever hear about from parents with kids in daycare is how they get sick every 7-10 days. Kind of worries me, lol.
Yay for new books! ~ L
I never wanted to do the daycare thing personally, but some people have no choice. I am so wanting your hair.
I can't wait to celebrate your 211bw *(eVIE'S helping me type) birthday with you. One day soon, when the kiddo is feeling better and isn't getting up every hour at night.
Oh, by the way, she has a throt infection, an ear infection, a yeast infection, and a possible stomach bug. Yay for mommydom.
