Strange week

I have had a quite a long break in blogging. Actually I should be cleaning now but I came to check e-mails in between. We were supposed to plan action points to get a paper published that has been rejected in two journals already. The research design is not very solid, and we have not elaborated on the variables and relationships as much as we should have. Well, we just have to lower the quality of the journal...So, I came to check if my co-author had worked on my suggestions. No - she already said that she doesn't feel too good. I better continue with cleaning as well.
BTW, my eldest daughter is going for an exchange to New Zealand next year, I still have not resolved the issue about the school of my second daughter, and my third daughter will get braces...
I myself was told that I will not be empoloyed as a senior researcher in a reseach institute to which I applied - for the second time! I won't apply for the third time! I hold a sample lecture (is this the correct term, maybe not)for the course multicultural teaching. I was too quick, as always...
ok, now: cleaning!
