I have survived...

I promise not to bust out into Gloria Gaynor (at least in public), but I have survived!  This week was hell challenging.  I had two papers due Monday, a final on Wednesday, and a trial notebook due Friday.  Add getting prepared for a massive garage sale...oh, and then there was the added situation of two coworkers unable to work.  Yep, made for an interesting week of minimal sleep, lots of coffee, and possibly some insane muttering on my part with a slight head twitch.  I'm happy to report that after a two-hour nap this afternoon, those symptoms are disappearing.

Honestly, I could not have survived this week (or really the past two years of school) without the support of great family and friends.  So I am going to make sure I list some of the people who made this week possible (no trophies are being given out--sorry):

My husband: He took off Thursday so that I could work all day uninterrupted.  Oh and for ignoring the pit of despair our house has become recently. 
My in-laws: They watched Ryder twice this week (and close to every week for the past two years-sometimes on short notice).  
My parents: My mom was awesome enough to get Ryder signed up for fun Indy Park classes this summer - I would have forgotten.  There are a million other things she and my dad have done, but this is a blog post-not a novel.
My friend Natalie: I probably would have flaked on the garage sale if she didn't motivate me and help me!  Looking forward to doing it all again tomorrow. 
Natalie's sister Stephanie: (Also my friend) who wonderfully volunteered to bring us food today!
Scharme from work: Every time I thought I couldn't type any more, I just thought "transcriptionist hoarder", laughed, maybe cried, and got back to it.  I'm being melodramatic, of course, about the crying part.  
My son: He's just awesome; it's really all there is to it.  Although, he doesn't look real thrilled to see his stuff being sold!
