Ever crack an egg?

So I've just spent an enitire day at a training for Spell to Write and Read, a homeschool language arts program. And let me tell you, I am fried. Tim took the day off to attend to the Chilins while I whisked away for what I thought was going to be a much needed day off with other homeschooling mommas. I thought wrong. I've been teaching the program for a year now and really just needed to get some clarification on some things......
You know what? I actually don't want to write about this right now

This is what I really wanted to say tonight..

I'm tired, and so is my husband

After having spent a crazy day with the kids, Tim drove down to Palo Alto to pick up a friends child (so they could get to the temple) and then on to Cupertino to change cars with me after my training. We gave eachother a brief kiss at 5:39 pm and he drove off by himself to Young Womens camp while I bounded on home with five kids in the back of the van.
I've got five kids, no husband, and homework for tomorrows day of training. Oh and I leave for Canada on Monday.

So this is my question.... Should I start packing for my 21 hour drive to Canada tonight? Should we see just how far Karen can go before she cracks? It might be fun. Why don't you stick around to find out?

Hang in there, Karen. You are brave! If it works into your plans, we'd love to be a stop-off point for you. I wish I could travel with you to help out.
