Things at our place are pretty lame compared to our fun filled holiday. Markham is studying for the first section of the CPA exam as if his very life depended on it. The poor guy is busy at work, then comes home only to plant himself at the kitchen table for a vigorous study sesh. He's such a hard worker and makes me so proud. I wrote a little Ode to Mard- Here it goes:
Eveyone who is a CPA can say
Studying for that beast robs you many a day
For my husband, who is the best
This thing is a severe pest!
He gets up so early
Even on our vacations to Burley!
Works, studies and reads
A break he badly needs!
He will take the first section in a few days
His mind must be like a maze!
Then he will need to take 3 more
Oh, my heart is sore!
Tax season is quickly coming!
That schedule is positively numbing!
Endurance is the key
Surely we will see.
