My son was gone this evening and when we asked, my daughter was up for a night run! I chased these two round the hood after dinner tonight. My muscles hurt all day so I let the weights go for the evening and instead am hunkering down to watch very important things on Netflix. 🙂
Five days till the last day- school days, that is. There’s a weekend in there too. Have I finished report cards? Nope. Is my classroom summer ready? Getting there.
