Friday!

Well, thank goodness that there are only 7 days in a week because I am not sure that the Adderley family would have made it to the end of the week if there were more days! What a week it has been. Erin crashed her car, she is okay but her beloved Red Mustang is not. I only ran once this week due to health issues...really sucks to being able to run! So freaked out about the Air Force Marathon. Really need to get some miles under my shoes!
I hope that the weekend brings some peace to our house!
Now for some great reads....I am still flying through the Charle Bone series, yes I know that they are kids books but I love them. The same for the Hunger Games series, I can't wait to head to Barnes and Noble this weekend to pick up Mockingjay! If you have not read these books you need to.
Now for a rant....why oh why do some people not listen to directions and then ask how to do something two seconds after you just explained it to them!!! This drives me crazy! Especially when you ask if they understand the directions and they say yes!!!! Then proceed to ask what they are supposed to do! Why do I even bother with the first step of explaining the directions! Why don't I just wait til they ask what are they supposed to do...hmmmm, maybe I will try that next week. We shall see how that goes.

School is back in session!!!

I have been reading like crazy this summer! Most of the books that I read were from my school library. I decided it was time to read what all the Middle school students were reading so I could better understand the types of books that they were interested in. So here is the list of what I read while lounging by the pool:
1. Hunger Games - I give this one 5 out of 5 stars
2. Catching Fire - 5 stars
3. The Mysterious Benedict Society (Books 1 and 2)- 5 stars
4. Forest of Hands and Teeth - 3 stars
5. Notes from the Dogs - 5 stars

Now here are some of my Rants from the long summer break....It was not long enough! No sooner had I gotten into a good summer routine.. you know..stay up late...get up..take a nap...sit by the pool...nap...go for a run, ride or swim...go to bed... It was time to go back to work! Hmmm...someone needs to work on that. But seriously while I enjoyed my summer off I am excited about a new school year. The library is all ready for the kiddos and 4th grade is going to be a blast. So...let the wild rumpus begin!
