Procrastinator Hates Projects With Dateline

A very stressed up day at the office. Rushing to finish a project for the coming election is no joke. Every project has a dateline and mine is today. Final amendments to be done and plotting the drawings for the architect's signature before sending them off to the department concerned. Pheew..... now I can take a rest. Am really looking forward to the coming festive holiday.

Haha...I have the menu for the reunion dinner drawn up . Can't wait for the sumptous dinner. Piggy luvs eating .....how very true... thinking of nothing but food all the time. This year we are not eating out, so momsie will be doing the cooking.

But tonight's dinner was simple enough . No one complained, so by looking at the empty plates after dinner proved ,either they are too hungry to notice or it tasted good. Whatever it is, I have done my best to come up with something like this after a hectic day at the office.

I looked on child rearing not only as a work of love and duty but as a profession that was fully as interesting and challenging as any honorable profession in the world and one that demanded the best that I could bring to it. - Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy
