caught...

I'm madly grading papers. And soon I'll be madly grading final exams. And madly trying to find time to clean my house before my madly awesome group of young women come and visit on Wednesday. For which I need to make some mad preparations. But tonight I went to my first madly official rehearsal of All Shook Up where I learned that I'm probably a bit mad to be doing, but madly excited in reality. (opens Feb 13 -April 4 - come hear my mad solo.) Look at those mad skillz in self-promotion! And madly need to find a bell for Millie to jingle madly at her preschool Christmas performance on Thursday as well as someone mad enough to switch me gymnastics set up this week - or watch my kids at the mad hour of 10PM. Anyone up for the mad dare?

In all the madness, what happened to day 15 (it is the 15th. right?) of our Advent? It sits, madly steaming at the fact that it is not opened. But Millie and Ellis did madly open a box from Grandma and Grandpa (mad props!) with presents (one was written to Emma. M & D - want me to madly rush and return?) and mad amounts of books & decorations. Excitement madly ensued.

And I'm off to madly pray for Ava (mad love to the Virginia Summers).
