It's only TUESDAY??!!

Somehow it seems as if it ought to be at least Thursday. There is very little news to report. I have been working on the paper that is due the first of April for Public Health in Disasters class. My topic is Public Health Aspects of Environmental Services during Crises and Disasters. In other words, how the public health department will help get water and sanitary facilities established for victims of a disaster. No, I did NOT choose the subject. There were 12 topics from which to choose and 12 students in the class. The good ones were taken up quickly, so I was left with this very very broad topic. I have to write 8 pages and do a 15 minute presentation. Not that I can't talk 15 minutes on any subject, but this one is a little broad.
Did you know that Lake Ponchartrain has less bacterial contamination that was expected? Also less contamination from all the petroleum industry that was expected. According to the EPA it is already back to a "recreational level" of all the nasty stuff that they have checked for. Just goes to prove that Mother Nature is a pretty tough old gal. Of course, she caused the mess, so I guess she can clean it up!
Tomorrow is Hump Day and also my husband's birthday. I think we will wait until the weekend to go out to eat to celebrate. might even find a way to leave the boys at home.......

This is going to be a long week, if today was any indication!

If you guys wanna eat out in Hoptown or Clarksville you can leave the boys with me. I might make them mow the lawn, but they're more than welcome to stay :-)

I was going to suggest that Alissa babysit, but she beat me to it.

What a terrible subject to have to write and make a presentation on! Good luck!
