I'm feeling at this point - well, at this precise moment, I feel like I reeeeally need some sleep. My motor functions are rapidly declining due to a 13-hour day in school. Lessons learned?
1. I will be switching back to the original Monday sequence of events re: Maddie. Instead of scooting her from school to one caregiver to the next, I'm just going to go back to the ol' drive-back-and-forth-from-the-suburbs routine. It wastes precious gas and time, but at this point I feel that one hour with Maddie is more important, even if we spend the majority of it arguing over whether she needs to complete her homework or clean her room while I cram dinner down her throat with the efficiency and speed of a fucking pit crew. WE WILL HAVE QUALITY TIME TOGETHER, GOD DAMMIT. NOW EAT YOUR DINNER.
2. Doing not as bad as I thought I was. Got a B on a major exam today, and notification from the school that I'm on the honors list for last semester's performance. On the flipside, I have a Microbiology exam in 11 hours that I have not read all the material for. This is not due to poor time management. Trust me. I am hoping the test will look something like this:
Secretion of this endotoxin upon destruction of Gram-negative bacteria may trigger fever, vasodilation, inflammation, shock, and blood clotting in humans.
a. Mars
b. your mother-in-law
c. stopwritingandgotosleep
d. lipid A
I will most likely be disappointed.

Hang in there sweetie!
Hugs and Kisses,
Mom
