I almost didn't make it here today! It's been an insanely busy week that's going to continue into today. Life This week has been a combination of busy at work and busy at home. The kids did not have school on Monday, which is also typically my busiest day at work. So when Monday ended, I felt as if I sucked at both life and work. The rest of the week was better - at least I was able to keep work and life separate. This weekend just happens to be one of those when I have so much to do - thanks to the many tasks and chores deferred from previous days/weekends. We were getting quotes for some home improvement projects, had to start prepping rooms for my parents' arrival next month (mainly because I still haven't moved my daughter's online school materials out of the room from the Fall school year), and do lots of seasonal shopping. If it weren't going to be constantly raining this entire weekend, I would be prepping my garden beds as well, but now that needs t

Books on my nightstand
The Lion's Game by Nelson Demille: I am glad to finally return to this book. After taking a break from this huge read, and getting through several other ARCs and books due back immediately at the library, I finally picked this one last night. Hopefully I should be done in a couple of days
Denial
by Jessica Stern: This book about a child rape is going to be tough material. Jessica Stern and her sister were raped as teens, and the police didn't believe them. They didn't speak about it for long, but the trauma remained. Stern finally speaks up in this book.
Full Moon at Noontide
by Ann Putnam: Another tear-jerker - I do seem to be levitating quite a bit to such books lately. This is the story of Ann's mother, father, uncle and husband - their lives and deaths. I've read quite a few moving reviews, so I'll keep some Kleenex ready.
