I have taken the 7 yr old and 10 yr old to school. Tommy jumped from his chair as I came down the street thinking I was the bus. Searched him and removed contraband (D&D dice and books); I'm certain there was more. He is just in one of those kinds of moods.

Was pleasantly surprised to find wife and baby awake although I'm certain it was Tommy and I raising voices to each other that got her up in the first place. I am trying harder and harder not to get into shouting contests with him and I am doing much better.

Now I will do some rapid programming followed by phone calls and hopefully a couple of resume submissions and then some financial stuff. I feel better physically although I'm still achy; my stomach feels weak from nerves; my mind is in control but feels like it could race at a moments notice.
