Man, you are one busy bee. Relax, take a 15 minute hot shower, heck make it 20 minutes! You deserve it.
PS We had an ant farm in Justin's room when Cyrena was living here. It ended up being her first spiritual experience because she prayed that she wouldn't be scared. Usually when I try to get Justin to do that he just yells at me. Nice! Good luck with the farm.

Are you kidding me? That sounds so hard. Being a mom is so hard. Have I said that being a mom is hard? What the heck?
