The end of Summer

The end of summer break is always a mixed thing. I like the free floating time to work on things but I also get board. This was a good summer. We didn't do any big trips or work on any big projects but we spent a lot of time as a family. We took Thomas to the pool several days each week and he got plenty of time with his grandparents.

I managed to get some smaller projects done. I reorganized the kitchen, started clearing the back yard, and shifted some furniture around. We haven't really sorted through our accumulated stuff in the time since we moved into the house.  I spent a large amount of time this weekend sorting through my back log of books to get my classroom library back together. I'm not sure of the exact number, but it looks like I'm adding over 100 titles which is exciting.

I've come to the realization that I will never catch up on all the reading I want to do. I know this isn't shocking to others, but I still cherish the day dream of infinite time, I guess.
