Stop the world, I want to get off.

I find myself saying things like "the other day" and realizing that it was just yesterday, or worse yet: that very morning.

Make it end. Couldn't we maybe have a freak snowstorm that cancels school for a few days? I mean, we had off on Monday, but that doesn't really seem to have made a difference ... I just wound up spending my time thinking of teacher stuff, anyhow.

Then again, given Katrina, maybe that's a really, really bad wish to have. Our kids are collecting pennies and dimes for service learning hours. A ten cent contribution (or less) equals one service learning hour. Not a bad bargain.
