Ok, so, I work, go to school full time, and have a little boy to take care of. I also have celiac disease that I haven't yet mastered, it's kinda new. Anyway, I'm way behind in my work at school, and I sent this email to my professor. Can someone read it tell me if it sounds whiney to you? Or is it fine? I see that she has already read it, but still...She hasn't replied. 8]

"It has been a while since we've had a meeting, but I wanted to update you on what has been going on with the project. I think I mentioned in my last email that I had hit a few bumps pertaining to information on the Fatherless Children of France. Do you remember the email I sent you asking about that old source from around 1920 and whether it was okay to use? I have decided that it would fit in nicely in context considering this source was indeed from the time that the Father Children were in operation.

Also, I had made a mistake in taking too many credit hours as well as trying to do this project along side my writing intensive course. Also, I have Celiac Disease, something I thought I had under control but I have found during this semester I do not. I was wondering if it would be possible to have an extension on this project of possibly two to three weeks? I have a basic outline written and have made progress on the paper itself, but there is not as much information as I had wanted.

Please let me know if this would be alright.

Thank you,"

Ack! Ok I'll calm down, it'll be fine.
