I actually managed to get a B in my writing class. o_o
Found out earlier today. Still hugely jazzed about this, as I seriously expected to barely pass.
On the other hand... Mark just proved conclusively WHY I am taking fall off. >_<
About an hour ago he began screaming and thudding in his room in a fashion that usually indicates minor injury or major bowel issues. Right in the middle of the bake time for the second trayful of a batch of choc. chip cookies I was making to thank Tom's office for giving him extra time off when I needed dental work a little while back....
I ran upstairs, and found him uninjured but extremely pungent. I promised I'd be right back, and ran back downstairs, where the timer had two minutes left. Got them on the cooling rack, ran back upstairs. Mark had NOT had a containment breach, but he did have a majorly nasty case of diaper rash, on top of the recurring and never quite healed cases he already had from previous nocturnal issues, and this necessitated an emergency bath.
During all this, Tom was out cold; his schedule this week has required him to get up at 3:30 am. The few hours that he is awake and at home, it's like having a very cuddly zombie lurching around.
Poor Mark did not enjoy the emergency bath, so after I tucked him back into bed, I laid down and snuggled with him a while. Poor poor kiddo.
He's not asleep yet, but he was calm and quiet when I left, and that's pretty much the best that can be asked for.
This is solid proof that I can't even make a batch of cookies when the Zodlings are ostensibly sleeping without chaos erupting, much less expect to get a decent amount of schoolwork done. >_<
But I got a B! So my academic probation, result of my poor performance back at UWM a decade ago, will not turn into academic suspension. :D
