It's my first paper deadline since Rowan's been born. I'm thrilled to report that the paper has been submitted now, a full...well...I don't know, maybe 9 hours ahead of the 11:59pm (Hawaiian time) deadline! It's been interesting leaving Rowan to go to the office so much this past week. On the one hand it was super to be back in productive mode, thinking deep research-y thoughts and collaborating with people. Plus, Grandmommy was here with Rowan so there was absolutely no need to worry. On the other hand, it was extremely difficult leaving him for many hours. There's just this whole part of me that could sit around all day and watch him sleep.
Speaking of which, sleep is pretty much what I want to do now. Grandmommy leaves in the morning, and Leah and I are heading to a 7am garage sale! Whee! (And by "whee", I think I mean, "I'm out of my mind!") ;-) Oh, but wait...tomorrow is FootballDay. Rowan will be helping me cheer on the Yellowjackets. SO much to look forward to, no time to be tired.
