Iwan ~ Thankyou for your kind words! I highly doubt I work harder than anyone. My thing is I aim to do the best I can and that is what counts. A lot of the times I could do better, but I'm learning...slowly learning.
P~ Hey girl..you're kicking butt. Way to go and thanks for stopping in.
WEekends going well so far. Today hubby and I are taking our son to the movies...either flushed away or Happy Feet. I'm still working on my essay...slowly chipping away at it, but I think it's going to be a really good essay. I feel like it's my best work yet. I've also got to read 2 childrens short novels plus a wack load of childrens picture books. I have to finish the work for my author/book presentation, which is a couple write ups and a handout, plus tomorrow I have to make the display for the author and books.
Then next weekend, I have to write a children's book and illustrate it. I'm doing a cross cultural book that deals with gender issues. It's about a boy who would like to be a princess for halloween and his best friend (a girl) wants to be a fire fighter or a constuction worker...something like that anyways. THe girls parents say great! Girls can do whatever boys can, so she can be whatever she wants for halloween. She tells this to her boy friend and he goes home and asks his parents why boys can't do everything girls can do, but that girls are allowed to do whatever boys can do. To me, its a very interesting concept...as I have a little boy and well I try to imagine that I would be supportive of whatever decisions he makes in life.
