Mama Said There'd Be Days Like This...

Well today was not a bad day, but it has been very taxing. I'm not really sure why. We are still adjusting to a new curriculum. I'm still adjusting to being the teacher, or more like the director of events. LOL I realized today in the middle of things, that I forgot to order the Literature Teacher's Guide. Oh well, it is ordered now. Even Caitlyn feels exhausted.

The weather may have some contribution to our gloominess. It has been raining the past two days, and the forecast is calling for rain the rest of the week. I'm not complaining, mind you. We desperately needed the rain. The rain has helped to cool things down a bit. It is only 81 right now! For that we are most grateful. These hot August days in Texas can be an energy drainer also.

On a lighter note, we did enjoy a good laugh at a squirrel in our front yard. It was raining pretty hard and he didn't seem to like it. It was as if he was throwing a temper tantrum. He would run up the tree a little ways, then down the tree, up the tree, and down again. Once the rain let up he came into the yard and sat on a tree root. He didn't like the wet grass. We had a good chuckle about him.
