11-27-12: after not studying for the last week and doing it all in 24 hours, I managed to pull off a 104% and 100% on my lab exam and quiz today. My girls are back to normal (no more puke-and-rally), dinner and bath time went exceptionally smooth for all 3 kids tonight, and I think I hear a big fat bowl of banana split ice cream calling my name. Now on to finishing Christmas presents and watching my over-weight dog sleep and snore with his eyes open.
