Survival mode + let's go to Hawaii via Fed Ex! + grateful for help

1. Some days I'm just happy to have survived: Barely any sleep last night (excited about the possibility of our HI house coming together) + our dog getting sick in about 15 (carpeted) locations upstairs + crazy work day + Zo getting sent home early from school for not feeling 100% + taxes + the never-ending "to do" list + whiny children... But I have made it through...
2. Zo, at the Fed Ex office sending some stuff to Daddy in Hawaii: "I'm going to climb in the envelope! And I'm going to erase the return address so there's no way anyone can send me back!" And also her writing him a little love note and sliding it in amongst the papers. (I wrote him one, too.)
3. I'm so thankful we have a washing machine in the house. Today's craziness would have been so much harder without one...
4. Charlotte taking the kids downstairs for a little while so I could get my paperwork done...so grateful for her help...
5. Learning some cool science for work today...

Happy Monday!
