Took the kids swimming today. There were a whole fleet of happy middle-aged women jumping up and down to trance music in the name of aquacizes. Ack. Go have a nice quiet swim, can't you? Tomorrow, to round out their week, I'm taking the kids to the dentist. Some excitement with my employees, seems one of them's run off to New York to be with her internet boyfriend, and her mother's gone to fetch her back. Her brother's been working with me in her absence, and he's quite the gossip...

My mother's currently in England, so my dad's been buzzing about in his new house, putting up cabinets. He's been by for coffee twice this week, which has been really nice. He was impressed with the basement room, but in true dad style asked me when I'm planning to do something about the upstairs.

Still, the house looks really nice. And the kids are happy to have had me home for the week. And I've gotten a ton of school work done. I'm almost finished all the coursework for both courses, and all that's left is to study for the finals which aren't until the week of the 7th of April.
