Going home?

I'm standing in the kitchen with some spaghetti cooking on one counter and my computer running on the other. I am trying to figure out if I can afford to go home this weekend to visit my parents in light of the amount of work that I am going to have due next week. Unfortunately it doesn't appear too likely that I'm going to be able to leave unless I have some major breakthroughs tomorrow.

That being said, I would really like to make it to the farm so I can relax and breathe for a day. I'm hoping I can get far enough ahead of my work so that I can do that within the next week or so.

In the mean time, I'll have to be content cooking dinner while I wait for Lauren to come home. Its already been a long day and I'm trying my best to stick to the "no homework at home" goal I've set. So, I return to the spaghetti cooking and will probably rest until my wife returns.
