It's been awhile.......
It's been awhile since my last post and although there doesn't seem to be much to write about I thought I should throw something out there.
Summer is half way over. I cannot believe it. Where are my days of fun and relaxation? Rayce is finally done with summer school but I just got a second job so I am not so sure how the vacation plans are going to work out. I have off most Thursdays and Fridays but it seems like I am so tired from the rest of the week that I don't get much enjoyment out of my free time. I am a voracious reader but this summer I have made it through one, maybe two books, tops. We have gone to the cabin once, been to one fair, one baseball game, and zero pools, zoos, parks, or beaches. Before I know it the summer will be over, I'll be into my third semester of nursing school and my life will officially reside inside of a text book. I just checked out a review book from the library so I can be sure to be ready for classes to start.
Back to books I am reading. I just started a book called "Monster Island" by David Wellington which is about zombies. So far it is pretty good, actually put it down last night to fall asleep at a very interesting turn of events, looking forward to finding out what happens. Just finished "The Zookeeper's Wife" by Diane Ackerman. This was one of the few non-fiction books I have read about a family in Warsaw, Poland during WWII that used the zoo they ran to help Jews and Poles survive the Nazi invasion. It was very interesting and I even learned a thing or two. I've also been reading "From Chaos to Calm" by Janet Heininger. It is an interesting read about a child with ADHD, something I am living daily. Reading this book helps me to deal with my child a bit more, understanding what is going through his mind when he doesn't even know.
Well, that's about as random as I can get for now. I'll try to be back soon!
