been a great summer, Kathy! I caught up on sleep. Much as I love being an early riser, "sleep is not for suckers"
the coveted catch-up day! (I'm sneaking one in tomoro - makes going back so much smoother...)
it's on the list, should carve out the time for it, but a lot of things competing for my time at the moment
That is great! Summer is a great time to catch up on that!
August is cloudy, windy, rainy but when we get clear blue sky they are sensational days!
The problem is I can keep going in and keep finding things to do! (as we all can)
have mine on my pile - was waiting for me when I got back from vacation Saturday.
getting on the mama tasks today: pediatrician paperwork, school supply shopping, etc.
I did that on Friday. Going in for a few this am to do some paperwork.
And I'm 87 books in to my - looks like another summer where I miss the target...
