What week is the "not nuts" week in July?

July 18 -- 23 -- I hear the margaritas are especially good that week!

 

[Lady Lallie]

Do it!

I've gone in July and let me tell you...I rather have a few hot days in Disney then be at home.

You and me both! I am so ready for this trip! How am I going to last 49 more days??? My family about drove me nuts today. It was rainy this evening and Chelsea and Connor were chasing each other around the house with nerf guns.

When I told them to stop, my mouthy daughter said, "But you are always saying you wished we would get along better."

I remember throwing that one into my parents face a few times when I was that age. They didn't like it when we started ganging up on them.

You make me want to skip the whole having kids things. The longer I wait the less I want them.

You still have 49 days? Blech. I keep thinking your trip is almost here which makes me feel like mine is almost here.

I always tell Charles that if we had waited until I became a teacher, we would still be waiting.

Yes, sadly, there are still 49 days left for me to wait. If I had to do it over again, I would have been going our normal week. Oh well. At least we are going.

Isn't your normal week right around now?? If you went your normal week you wouldn't see the Summer Nightastic, right?

My mom has started in on the "you need to have a baby before I'm in a wheelchair" thing. Which she keeps saying could be anytime now since she tore her meniscus in her knee and needs surgery. Of course when I had baby fever she told me to wait. Moms...you just can't please them.

Our normal week would be June 6 through the 12th -- right on schedule for Summer Nighttastic.

Nope, you can't please moms.

Jackie - I was actually pricing out the last couple of days of your trip. Didn't book anything yet, though. We'll see...

Hope everyone had a great weekend. For those of you going back to work today headache: - me too) hope your re-entry to reality goes smoothly (and quickly!!).

 

[jenjolt]

Interview day is here!! I'm up researching Instructional Coaches and getting ideas on what they do and how I would implement those strategies!!! Nervouse but keep reminding myself to just be myself, they already saw something they liked!!!!

HAD AN AMAZING WEEKEND...but will have to tell you all about that later LOL!

 

[Charleston Princess]

Christine, you let me know when you have booked!

Jen, good luck today!!! You will be sensational!

 

[Lady Lallie]

Good luck today, Jen!

Re-entry is not going smoothly at all.

Re-entry into work? I'm sorry.

Oh, I have a new author that you would like, LL. Kate Morton -- I read The Forgotten Garden and loved it, and right now, I am reading The House at Riverton. She is one of those writers that you just lose yourself in her writing.

Yes, they've decided to treat today like a horrible Monday.

I've read The House at Riverton! I loved that book. I was just looking at The Forgotten Garden at Target on Sunday.

I've read The House at Riverton! I loved that book. I was just looking at The Forgotten Garden at Target on Sunday.

I am about 200 pages to the end of The House at Riverton -- I think that will be what I have to do today.

The Forgotten Garden was really good. I would sit down to read it and then, the next time I would glance at the clock, a couple of hours had passed. Also, another good one that I just finished was The Piano Teacher -- couldn't put that one down, either.

 

[Charleston Princess]

I am so sorry to hear this is like a horrible Monday .

I haven't been reading a lot lately. With school and life I've been too busy. Also, I seem to be in a bit of a book slump. I just can't get into some of them as much as I'd like lately. I did spot those Tasha Alexander books on my shelf this morning, I think I need to read something like that to get me back into the swing of things.

I haven't been devouring books like I was during the month of April, but that may change now that it's summer. I do have a list of books I want to read -- they are all thick, historical novels, so that must be the mood I am in these days.

I need a good historical novel to read for sure. I've been in contemporary fiction for awhile now.

The Piano Teacher might fit that description. It's set in the British community of Hong Kong in the 1940's and 1950's.
