Promises, Promises

I am sorry to have not shown y'all how to make a marquee, it is pretty easy. Right now I am having a nervous breakdown, so you will have to excuse me. My final project is due Monday. All kinds of things keep getting in the way of me being able to accomplish any type of progress toward the completion of my project. I am trying to balance taking care of Lily with my school work. She just happens to be going through one of her more difficult phases. We also have a lot of invitations to Christmas type things. Since I have no friends and we don't get the chance to get out of the house and interact with people we actually know very often it is hard for me to say no. Yesterday for instance we spent the entire day out of the house. Today, Chad's parents are coming to stay with us for the weekend. We extended the invitation, come and stay with us anytime... We found out Wednesday afternoon, coming today. My house was not actually company ready. I was up all night, now my house is company ready. Lily and I just have to bath and get dressed. I don't know, am I supposed to cook and entertain all weekend? I just feel awful saying I will be locked in a closet... I am going to try to get through this all with some grace. BTW, Katya if you are reading this, can you help me find a performance of the nutcracker somewhere within a 100 miles. We were planning to go to a local performance this weekend, but Mandy's work schedule is conflicting. I haven't seen the nutcracker in 8 Christmases, it is a tradition, well maybe not really anymore.

A marquee code tutorial can be found here.

I am afraid I don't know how to type code in a blog post???

Oh my, I figured you were busy with class work. Company is hard even without a crabby kiddo and assignments due.

You should definitely not have to cook and entertain all weekend. Just tell everyone up front what the situation is. Good luck.
