"First Day of School!"

"First Day of School! First Day of School!" is the first thing Nemo says to (yells at) his father Marlin in Finding Nemo.

It's my first day of "school" (as in full on teaching) today; Clara's first school day is next week.

After days of blinding busy-ness, and factoring in an extra early departure today so we could drive my husband to the train station because his car leaked all of its power steering fluid onto the road yesterday, it is suspiciously calm.  Too calm.

Do I really have time to start some reading for the book I'm trying to write?  Really?  NOW?  Will Wednesdays at 12.26 always afford me a small slice of "me" (ie research) time??
