Busy, busy, busy

Who isn't busy these days? EVERYONE I know is just completely slammed with one thing or another. As for me, I don't even know where to begin.

I've been having a blast with my kids. They are growing up before my eyes. My son is becoming extremely self-sufficient and I've gotten better at learning what makes both of my kids tick, for the most part. Content kids usually equals a content household. My daughter and I put together a jigsaw puzzle of the continents, seas and oceans. Well, she handed various pieces to me while I put them into place. :-)

My hubby might as well be writing up some billable hours at the law firm where he works. He went to court today, and the entire case was built around his research, and suggestions he made to the defense attorney throughout the trial. The case appears to be in their favor, and the attorney told his client that Chris is the man to thank for all the hard work. How exciting!!!

I hung out with my sister, niece and nephew this afternoon. We had a great time together. We went to Lenox Mall and walked around for a little while, and then grabbed lunch from Wendy's. It was such a relaxing time. Of course, I had to return to work after our time together which was not so relaxing. :-)

I've really been on a roll with boosting my technology expertise. I've got a LONG ways to go before I reach my goals, but they don't seem so far-fetched anymore. That's definitely progress. I've been tasked with some projects that are giving me a real challenge. Hopefully, I'll rise to the occasion.

I just wish I could stay off of the internet all together. I'm starting to think that it's REALLY driving me insane. I've been stressing over avoiding HP: Book 7 spoilers, but the world is so full of DEVASTATING events that it's hard to even think about. It makes my head and heart ache.

I'm off to bed for about 6 hours. I usually look forward to the weekend, but I'm on-call for the first time in about 3 months. Boo.
