Hats off to you Ritzy. Terrie I have only had to deal with my own kids early in the morning.

I used to do that kind of morning stuff. Amazing that a body can function on so little sleep. And I used to write 'works well under stress' on all my CVs, but not anymore. I do not want to work under stress anymore. Been there, done that. Good luck to all you ladies reporting to work these next few weeks!

I have to be at work by 7:15 am and deal with kids by 7:30!

OOOO....I'll be watchin' the mail !!

Just put a mug rug in the mail for Marilyn. Now I will do some have to sewing. I am going to a wedding in October for my sister-in-law and would like to make some gifts for some of the family.

Rosemary I feel your pain, on all counts. We have to be out the door by 7.30am which is just hideous! I am fortunate that DH likes mornings so he does the lion's share of train-runs.

Afraid there will be some delay with yours I have a slight case of CW at the moment (and job hunting ) Althought the up side of school starting is that I am now having to be up bright (cough, yeah right! 'me/bright/early mornings' just do not belong in the same sentance) and early to see Izzy off to the school bus for 8am :shock: - I really, really don't do mornings

Rosemary--your muggie finally decided it was done. In the mail as of today.

I hope the challenges aren't too onerous. Have a good school year!!

Nancy
