my current worry

Zoe doesnt like to nap anymore. She has slept fantastic at night lately, but not so much during the day. I got great amounts of work done in her 3 hour morning nap of time past. But apparently she believes she has outgrown that. I am a bit worried about the dissertation proposal that I am presenting the second week of may, which has tremendous amounts of work to be done - work that first requires a few brilliant solutions to be worked out, which requires time. But this evening my family arrives (which of course means that today and yesterday my bits of time were spent cleaning) and then on Sunday Zoe and I will get in the car and drive back to Nebraska with them. Yes, Baltimore to Omaha. Its going to be a very, very long drive. When I get back there will be about two weeks to do all that brilliant dissertation stuff. I hope the fates are on my side, because it will take serious amounts of luck.
Meanwhile, even when I have a moment to do so, I cant seem to think about International Organizations or academia. Just not in the groove.
When Im back I will tell the story of the long road trip, cd recording, brother's star role in his musical, and Zoe's first plane ride - all planned during this grand adventure.
wish us luck.
please.
