Go Phillies! I need the peace and quiet.

I am sitting at the table in our Great Room trying to get caught up on my school work. My office is filled with all the work I need to get caught up on for the Missions Outreach projects that are coming up. One week to finish my 2006 budget requests, two weeks to fill all the cook and over night host slots for the Family Shelter, four weeks until the next Saturday outreach for the homeless, six weeks to finish making the Christmas cards for the "Camp Acorn" fund raiser. If I walk in there I'll begin to feel panicked. In the words of Scarlett O'Hara, "I can't think about this now. I'll think about it tomorrow."

Mike is sitting in his recliner watching baseball. So far I am able to concentrate. The Phillies are up 3-0, but Atlanta is threatening with 2 men on and only 1 out. The whining and pounding and cursing is only one shallow base hit away.

I am going to take advantage of the 3 run cushion of peace and get some work done.
