So is it summer when I have worked every day so far this week?
I think not!
Maybe if the weather was nicer, my attitude would be more positive.
But...
I have tomorrow off and I am going to eat Indian food with Emily!
Exciting!!!
After that, I am going to hang out with my adorable nieces.
Love them!!!
On the positive side...
Tracy, my co-writer for the units of study, and I should be able to accomplish a ton by only meeting a couple times a week.
That's not too bad, right???
See- a little sunshine!
Wish mother nature would follow suit. lol
She seems to think Missouri is in desperate need of rain.
Rain, rain go away!!
Are you on summer break yet?
How are you enjoying your time off?

Hi girls!
ReplyDeleteEmilyK-I have read The Gone Girl and Sharp Objects and am currently reading Dark Places all by Gillian Flynn. Her books are suspenseful, engaging, and twisted-you can't fully predict what is going to happen next. As a warning she uses adult language, but if you can get past that I think that you will enjoy her books!
