Rain, blessed rain

Still reading together
SportsBoy still loves for me to read to him at night. As he's gotten older, the books have become more complex of course. He is still not as into reading on his own as we would like, but he is definitely interested in books. This year, we've read two of Mike Lupica's books. "Heat" and... Continue Reading →

Errands that needed to be done, but that had no specific deadline other than they were hanging over my head. Yet, I was *tired*. Eyes closing while I drove home tired. Now, I could...
