• Go to bed

It's a long day.  And I hate being away for so much of it.  At the same time, I feel really productive, both at work and at home.  We're still getting school done well, I'm helping my family, and after tomorrow I'll have 8 days off in a row.  That's time in which I can plan field trips and other events for us as a family.  As exhausting as the work is, I think it's going well for our family.

And I seem to always have a kid in my bed at night.  Bridget was already in my bed asleep when I got home tonight.
