Catching Up

School started, and the kid was so excited that she was up at 4:44 a.m. the first day. 6:01 a.m. she was trying to get out the door.

Now I have to get back into to it so next summer I guess I'll just give up and not alter my sleeping habits. Now I have to catch up on all the work I fell behind on during the school year.

The word is irrational and this post comes in at 125 of the 150 word limit. Vist M3 for official rules and word list. Visit Redmund Productions to pick up the serious and rememb...
