Busy not Posting

I was surprised when I saw that it has been over a week since my last post. I think this is an indication of how busy I've been. What have I been so busy with?

• Writing. I've been busy writing. I either foolishly or wisely decided that the text I'm using for my Abnormal Psychology class is inadequate for my curriculum. So I met with a publisher last week and decided to create a custom text. I love the first four chapters of my current text, but the remain 13 chapters don't meet my needs. So this means that I have to write the bulk of the text book...in four weeks. You decide if this is foolish or wise, but please keep your opinion to yourself. I'm too busy trying to make it happen to listen to what anyone has to say about it.
• Making sure that Chelsea gets enough practice driving. She has been driving daily and is really improving. I no longer grip the door handle in a vain attempt to hide my nervousness. In fact, yesterday I learned how to text while she chauffeured us to Paradise to see a movie. Now that is trust!
• Pretending to cook. It has always been so much easier driving through a fast food establishment, but my kids have made it clear to me that they prefer it when I at least attempt to feed them real food. Last posting I wrote about my chicken marsala. Today I branched out and created an Atkin's friendly version of chicken parmesan. Another miracle happened...I actually liked this dish more than the chicken marsala. I'm waiting to see how the kids like it as Chelsea is busy playing video games with a friend and Cody is at the movies with Dan.
