I canāt believe itās Sunday night already. And itās weird because I think Iām a little sad that Teacher Man goes back to school tomorrow. Usually Iām ready to get back toĀ the structure and routine of the school year. Somehow tonight, though, Iām mourning how quickly the summer went by. It was a great summer, […] Read moreā¦
I think I can feel my age tonight. After spending 4 days in Washington DC and then another 3 days traveling to/from Iowa City for a family get-together, I am officially beat. If you could see me now, I am sharing the couch with Joe while he is on his iPad and Iāve got HGTV […] Read moreā¦
I havenāt posted since June 9. Yikes ā I hate that! It couldnāt be helped, really.

Well, itās all good, of course, but it […] Read moreā¦

(Not complaining, […] Read moreā¦
I am ridiculously tired tonight. As in ā zero energy. None at all. And yet, I donāt want to go to sleep. Instead, I am eating peanut butter pie frozen custard with chocolate sauce and writing blog posts. This is, of course, what makes Sunday nights and the inevitable creep of Mondayās to do list […] Read moreā¦
