'Tis the season when I pay for the 4 weeks of vacation that I am about to take from teaching college. The days leading up to vacation are a ridiculous flurry of writing exams, grading exams, papers, labs, and on and on.
I have a growing appreciation for work - it gives me reason to focus, deadlines that make me feel productive (no matter how out of control the rest of my life is!), people that I must interact with. I think that work has the potential to bring out the best in us, but at least gives us a reason to get up in the morning. Sometimes, it literally drags us out of bed in the morning, if your work is your kids!
Anyhow, work necessarily gets in the way of hobbies like baking cookies, blogging, even necessities like picking up my house. All the thoughts I'm wanting to write about will have to wait until I get at least a little more work done. Happy working to you too - stop reading and get back to work!

I'm glad you're working hard for those four weeks of vacation! (Now go do some laundry and pack some bags! Go to California!) Yippee, you are!
And...
My kids are raised. After work, I sit back, listen to music, play computer games, take the wife to dinner, have a 7 pm cup of coffee, irritate my daughter with a post...
Life is good! ;-)
