A full plate

My upcoming week:

On Friday night I leave for San Francisco, and on Sunday I’ll be running 26.2 miles in the Nike Women’s Marathon.

On Monday evening, I take the “red eye” from California back to Minnesota, getting in at 6:30 AM. (I feel like a movie star saying “red eye”).

On Wednesday, I’ll have my graduate class again, where I will have to have had the following homework completed: read and write reflections on 2 chapters, create some sort of chart to organize all my journal articles (which I still have to do research for), and write critiques of 3 of the articles. Not sure exactly when I’ll be doing all this.

On Saturday, we’re having a goodbye party at our house for Melvin’s nurse….who has been with him for 5 years, and knows how to “handle” him. This means a whole bunch of people in our house for the first time…which means it will need to be spotless, pictures hung, light bulbs replaced, etc. Oh, and I’ll have to have food for everyone (which will mean I’ll have to arrange catering…because, well, I don’t cook).

Nothing much. A little cross country flying. A little running. A little reading, writing and researching. A little cleaning. A little partying.



Oh yeah, and at some point I have to be a mom.

Anything else anyone wants me to do next week?
