Work, food, school, stress, what else is there?

I am working on a lit search of community nursing education methods at the moment. I am learning a lot about educative methods and measures of structural knowledge. But it is a lot of work.....

Our local cheese factory has some nice cheeses. I picked up a cracked pepper verdelait, a brie, and an applewood smoked cheddar (not local, but a nice cheese). I also picked up a loaf of house levain sourdough, and a fig and walnut levain as well to go with them. I will serve this all with grapes, dried chorizo, and an olive tapenade. This of course, with some wines. I still need to decide on pairings. I'll think about that later. We are having guests this weekend, obviously, I am also trying out my rotisserie to do a rosemary, garlic and whole dijon roast. I am deciding on sides still. I am making a flourless chocolate cake, possibly with a ganache for dessert. This is also kind of a father's day thing for Dave while I am at it. We have a bunch of family coming, should be a good time.

I am so anxious for Dave to be home. I get a lot more paperwork done when he is here. I also have less running to do. Between 3 trips to the school, plus 2 on gymnastics days and swimming days, I am constantly driving it seems. These little 2 hr windows at home are no good. I will be glad for kindergarten to end and full days start. I have the house kind of partially cleaned, did windows and bath tubs. I need to finish the bathrooms, dust and wash floors. I also need to sort some more downstairs to make things presentable. I wish the carpet dudes would come, but it will likely be a couple more weeks wait still.

It has been a hard, busy week. I am glad both the girls have class collections for a teacher's gift, makes my life simpler. Lauryn's class is having a gathering of all the kinder classes on the last day of school, then a full out bbq with a bouncer for just her class at a classmates house and a gift collection for madame. Crazy. I just want to finish going through the last 8 research articles, then at least I have 10 days to pull it all together. I feel like that little train-I think I can, I think I can, I can I can lol

I have been burning the candle at both ends. Up late editing, baking, making lunches, Josh not feeling well and up late. I actually fell asleep 2 afternoons in a row this week. Week is almost over....
