Not Just Another Manic Monday


Monday’s are not usually my favorite, but today was a pretty decent Monday.  For starters, it was such a beautiful morning/day today. Instead of staying at home all day with Harley I went with my sister to work; she works at a Mother’s Day Out program in Mountain Brooke. Today was their first day back after a weeklong break from the summer program. However, today was not exactly what I expected. There were not any kids at the preschool today because apparently this week is a teacher’s workweek. Of course, she failed to mention that part; I was really looking forward to playing with some really cool kids. So, instead of playing with the kids today I listened to the director discuss policies and procedures. Can you say boring?
After a three hour long meeting I went with my sister and the other teacher in the room to see their classroom. They have a BUNCH of fun gizmos and gadgets in their room. While those two were moving furniture I decided to color and wait in a chair by the door. I was so ready to go because I was getting really hungry. By the time we left at 2:00 p.m. my stomach was growling even louder than a lion, that is a true story. So, after working tirelessly we went to one of my FAVORITE places for lunch, Tazikis. Amber owed me a Tazikis trip for being a good sport today. Since it was so pretty today I even convinced her to let us sit outside on the patio. The Tazikis at Lee Branch is my favorite because they have a beautiful patio outside with a waterfall nearby. I am glad we were able to enjoy the sun today because I hear that the rest of the weak will not be so pretty. I heard something about a hurricane on the news this morning, that does not sound so good.

Oh, you know just sitting around watching preschool teachers at MBCC Journey arrange classroom furniture. I wonder if they noticed if I left to get lunch. Hmm.

Here I am saving a table for Amber and I at Tazikis. I am such a good friend/sister to save a table all by myself.

Finally, A Day to Rest


      Finally, a day to rest! This week has been a very busy week. We have all been scurrying around trying to prepare my brother and sister for a new school year. I like to help them get ready, but I am tired. I am so glad it is finally Saturday, so I can spend a relaxing day at home with my family. Since today is my first “free day,” I decided to spend some time catching up on some reading. I recently finished the Hunger Games series as well as The Uglies series; they are fantastic books. 
      I have been reading in the library at home since noontime and it is now 4:50pm; time flies when you are having fun! I picked the perfect day to read since it is really cloudy outside. It has not rain yet, but I think it will rain soon. I heard something about a hurricane on the news this morning, so I am keeping a close eye on things. I have been reading on the bookshelf so I can keep a close eye on things. 


Here I am reading on the bookshelf. My family has a lot of interesting things for me to read.

I decided to rest on the mantle of the fireplace with Harley. He looks so peaceful. Don't tell my brother or sister, but he likes me the best.
