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
Still Missing by Chevy Stevens: Although I received this ARC a long time ago, it has taken me quite some time to get to this. I am finally able to see above my stack of books, and that makes me really relieved. This one especially has been receiving some good attention lately, plus I had read a couple of pages when I first received this book - it was pretty interesting!
Animal Farm
by George Orwell: This is quite a short audio book, for which I am thankful. I find this a very different kind of read, with lots of hidden meanings and quirky similarities to human history. I have an hour of audio left, and I'll most likely pick one of those Sparknotes for some "light reading".
Full
Moon at Noontide
by Ann Putnam: I didn't quite get to this book last week as planned, but I'm starting this one today. 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.

Look forward to your review on that one.

Have a super week!
I'm reading the Short Second Life (actually started it online, but my middle daughter brought over a hardcover copy, so I started on that) .. I really like it so far, so after this, I'll hop over to see your review!
