So it’s been a while, huh? Well…life has been crazy.  The first day of kindergarten for Wee boy went well and then the sickies hit. Day #2 of school was missed due to a fever and then there was a week of no school as they were doing staggered entry so tomorrow is officially the start of the regular school schedule.

This last week was not so wonderful.  We had plumbing nightmares (think black, putrid sludge oozing in a room NOT the source of the plumbing problem. What a mess.) and the whole family was sick (including me). The Boy (12) got sick last so we tried to vote him Nurse so he could care for all of us. He wasn’t amused. So, I slogged on as usual and also experienced the following fun:

-integration of two new team members

-mini nightmares with big BIG client

-revamping of requirements and retraining of team for other existing big client

-7 rush projects needing to be done the ‘new’ way

-1 writer off for pregnancy bed rest unexpectedly so had to reassign her work

-1 writer got snarky and pissed me off on a very bad day. Not sure if I’m ready to take her off the naughty step yet

-2 writers had emergencies and had to reject rush projects more than 24 hours after I allocated said rush projects

-A financial hiccup that wasn’t fun to deal with.

-Whiny sick kids

-WHINIER sick spouse

-plugged up left ear for most of week with right side shoulder and neck pain, sniffles, coughing fits and general blahs.

Oh yeah….and  DH brought home a new 5 week old non-litter-trained kitten on Wednesday and it was UNAUTHORISED.

I’m still alive and kicking, not divorced and have running water in my kitchen again . Little Abby-Cat is integrating well and tomorrow is day # 2 of school for my 4 year old so I’m looking forward to some decent productivity and maybe, just maybe…a long afternoon NAP.
