 Well, i got that nap in. so, looks like i won't be doing patches tonight cause my nap really threw my schedule off. i'll have to work those patches back in on another day this week. maybe monday night or early tuesday morning in the wee hours. i know, technically, today is monday, but i intended to finish up my patches sunday, though.

despite my nap, i think i'm still sleepy. i think i'll hit the sack.

my wife mowed the front lawn today and my son mowed the back (finally got those damn lawn mowers to start). we went to lowes and got some weed 'n feed for the grass. i took a nap after changing out all the florescent bulbs. i had to crawl into some really awkward spaces to get to some of those light fixtures.

i wake up from my nap to find that the lawn mowers are still outside and the fertilizer bags are everywhere. i guess i should clean it up since they did most of the actual yard work-- i suppose that's the least i can do.

i've been in a training class all last week. so, going into the office monday morning won't be fun. i've got a lot of work that's probably waiting on me and several co-workers who probably have save up a lot of dialogue for me to hear-- which makes getting work done quite difficult.

time management to the rescue!

every morning for school, my daughter can't find her shoes, book bag and a pair of matching socks. but before she went to bed i said to her-- repeat this word, "routine". after she did that, i told her she needed to make it a routine to find her shoes and place them by her bed before getting in it. i made her find a pair of matching socks, fold them up into a little ball, and stuff them in one of her shoes. i made her hang up her bookbag after placing her various folders in it for school. i'm going to make it a point to teach her some basic, but important routines. finding only one shoe when you're in a rush sucks!


Oh yeah, and there's a cool video where an astronaut on the ISS takes a cloth and soaks it with water. Then, he wrings the soaked cloth. What do you think happens? Make a guess and then go find out: Experimentation at it's best.
