3. Need to drop off letter/check/form at school for #1 to stay for extracurricular. Forgot that!  Again!
4. Get movie from Redbox that I promised Son #1. DONE!
5. Pick up more hot chocolate.  And some shoes for Son #1 who has busted his clean through the soles and they are now leaking rainwater.  (How does he do this so fast?!!!!)  GOT SHOES< FORGOT HOT COCOA

So, here I go -- work with me and post your progress!  I'll aim to work 3 fifteen-minute sessions, then relax (and drink some water ) during each "fourth quarter"!

2:45 update:  I gotta get back on the stick.  Ran errands, picked up #3 from preschool, and then my mom popped in for a nice chat so I'm just now getting back to work.  Gonna pick up where I left off.
