I spent an hour pre-dawn, lying on the spare room couch upstairs, wondering how best to plot a correlation documenting the clear relationship between one child's tension-filled late night from sickness and the other's ungodly early awakening 'just because. Because, damn, it's pretty darned obvious to me that this exists. (Yes, I have statistics on the mind, thanks to three straight weeks of teaching basic concepts.)
Eldest is still home, this morning, with a bit of an unsettled stomach (nothing's come back up yet, thank goodness) and youngest is happily off to school, thanks to Mike's efficiency. I have to get myself dressed and ready to teach my graduate student seminar in, oh, forty minutes. Thank goodness for a short commute!
And I still have that enormous pile of marking to deal with, last night's grading having been cut short as I dealt with ailing eldest. . . . Gah! Time for my cranky icon, again!
