The last foster daughters will be leaving Saturday morning to go live with relatives, leaving us with a house that's relatively empty*. That will be the last of that for a while, maybe 6 months or a year. Then I doubt we'll ever take that many at once again.
I'm really not sure what I'll do without any crying going on in my house. Oh, wait, yes I'm sure. While it's more an explanation than an excuse, the reason it's been so slow around here is that I've managed to knock out 15-20% of my thesis in the last week and a half. Now that the research is done, the rest simply consists in writing the blasted thing**. The sad thing is how little of the research I'll actually get to use. The rest can wait for the book, I guess.
* 5 kids in a house is "relatively empty" compared to 10, 7 of whom are girls under the age of 8. Especially when 2 of them do nothing but sleep here before heading off to work and/or school.
** Plus probably as much time as that again formatting footnotes. Good grief. If Kate Tarabian was not already dead I'd probably kill her.

The Bibliographer doesn't help with everything, but I have found it to be quite useful, especially since it is free.

El Borak struggling with footnotes. It must be justice.
Perhaps I subliminally overcompensate for my bibliographical inadequacies here.
Some of my interns swear by LaTex for keeping track of long writings. It's a lot like computer coding in terms of the formats, but it does wonderful things with keeping track of footnotes. You might check it out.
