"A perfect summer day is when the sun is shining, the breeze is blowing, the birds are singing, and the lawn mower is broken." James Dent

Summer school has officially begun. Ugh. Yes, we started yesterday. There are now 19 days left of summer school (no, I am not counting the weekends). Then minus 4 days for Friday field trips because those are pretty easy...that is 15. Then I am gone 2 days for a conference...down to 13. Okay, not too bad. Goodness. I have a pretty good group though.

It has been a long week and it is only Tuesday. My dog is being a world class pain in the butt. He doesn't understand "shut up and go back to sleep". Most dogs probably don't, but at 3:00am I would *like* for him to!

My mom has been having some serious problems with her arthritis. She said she woke up the other morning hardly able to walk and write. She has it in her feet, neck, hands...and now in her lower back and knees. They are running some tests to rule out another type of disease so I should know more about that later. Just keep her in your prayers please. Thanks a lot in advance.

Alright, I need to get ready for the day. Have a wonderful Tuesday!

I hope all goes well with the test with your mom. I hope it turns out to be nothing.

I hope your mom is okay! I know that has to be painful. It seems that summer school may not be too bad after all.
