Let's Have a Look-See

I do love this time of year. It is finally is green. Some of my favorite trees are starting to bloom.   Yes, we have a windy day, but, more good days than bad. I have pulled so many of these bulbs out, they just seem to multiply.   They are lovely this time of year.  And I am still working.  Mostly from home, but I go into the school every now and then.  I had to deliver 2 packets this week. One kid ran out to pick up his work.  He was so vfc excited.  Will it ever end?  That is a question I ask myself every day.

Phonics, math, sight words, blending, quilting, cross stitch,  sewing, reading novels studying scriptures, cooking, Netflix, Pandora, walking, you name it, I probably have a time to do it.   Somedays I get so much done that it feels like a week since I woke up.  But I  am healthy, as is my family.  So many things to be grateful for.  But at the end of the day, this stinks.
