I also wanted to mention that, as usual, I really feel for my wife and all stay-at-home parents whenever I have vacation time that corresponds with vacations for my kids. For instance, today was the first day in nearly a week when I wasn't setting off on some project, and I thought I'd be able to get caught up on my blogging, maybe even write a review for ComicMix (they probably think I fell off the edge of the Earth, by this point), and so on.
Uh-uh. Nothing doing. I had a couple of errands with the boys in the morning (through what looked at that point like a major snowstorm, but fizzled later) -- off to drop off a Cub Scout shirt for sewing, and then some grocery shopping, but then the day would be free! Well, then I had to get them lunch. And then somehow I was playing LEGO Batman
That's almost twelve hours just gone -- I did shovel some snow, and do dishes, and various other household stuff...but I didn't even get to the laundry. I make a lousy housewife, I'll tell you that.
I've been on vacation for most of two weeks, and have very little to show for it -- I don't even feel as rested as I think I should. At this rate, I'll be happy to get back to work on Monday, so I can Get Things Done. (Maybe that's the point of vacations...)

I wonder how friends of mine manage full time job, two kids with ten different evening things, house and Masters degree all at the same time.
I hope that you at least enjoyed your leap second as much as I did. (actually, I was busy and failed to notice the time until 0030, but that's what I get for working in the ICU.)
I don't think you fell of the edge of the earth-- I think everybody fell off these past two weeks. Sheesh...
