Hello, September! I hope you all had a fabulous Labor Day weekend. I enjoyed that extra day off!
Even though I had a four day school week, I was so exhausted when I got home, I ate and went to bed. On Tuesday I crawled in bed at 6:45! I didn’t get much reading done, but I’m hoping that smoothes out. I also didn’t get a Thoughts on Thursday post up, either! I was going to work on it … and obviously, I spent my time replenishing and renewing my energy each day. I now know I have to get my Thursday posts done the weekend before, just in case.
I received my second letter from my brother, and he has confirmed he will be stationed in Hawaii! I have always wanted to go to Hawaii (I actually wouldn’t mind living there), so I think I’ll just use that excuse to go out and visit him at some point. 😉
Friday I took my kids to the library, and I was amazed that so many of my boys were the first ones checked out and reading. I really do think we got a pretty awesome group this year.

Girl of 1000 Wonders 
Yay for a long weekend! I wish we could have those here in Australia. 😥
Bummer that you were still super tired though. Hopefully this week will go more smoothly for you! 😀
Thank you so much for linking up my nomination! I really really appreciate all the support you’ve given me and I don’t know how I could ever possibly repay you! ❤
Long weekends are good – and when you come back the kids are all wound up!
When I was doing my student teaching two years ago, I would literally come home and go straight to be and usually sleep til the next morning. Getting back in the groove takes some work, but it will smooth out as I get back in routine.
I was so happy you were nominated! I took myself over and Liked your nomination page immediately!
You can repay me by voting for me if I’m ever nominated for something. 😉 I’m still in my baby blogger stage, though, so it’ll be a while!
Many thanks for both links!!!
You’re welcome, Krystal! I hope your giveaway goes off without a hitch. 🙂
Enjoy your new week…I think those four day weeks are often more tiring…it’s like you’re cramming five days into four.
Here’s MY WEEKLY SUNDAY/MONDAY UPDATES POST
That is true. My partner and I were definitely cramming extra work in a few of those days.
Sounds like your school year’s starting out great! I would definitely take that excuse to go to Hawaii – I’ve always wanted to go. Someday …
Thanks for linking up to my discussion post! I always love finding fun discussions around the blogosphere!

It has been a truly smooth start of the year! I only hope it lasts!
Glad you have a great group of kids this year! That’s great about your brother. It’ll definitely give you the perfect chance to visit! I know what you mean about being exhausted. With the allergies and the heat I really could use about 10 extra hours of sleep! Have a great week!
I have a feeling allergies here in Austin are about to get bad with the changing weather for fall. And we already have a stomach virus going around – it claimed one of my kids last week…who puked all over my classroom. 😦
Pandora sounds good. Hope you enjoy and have a great week.
