I told her to wait until the start of the new school year. Then she'll feel it. :-)<br /><br />I am glad your mother seems to be doing better. It sounds like you are doing everything you can to help her while still taking care of yourself. I'm glad to hear it. :-)<br /><br />I hope you have a great week, Molly!

I know I did .. but perhaps more than one person recommended it. It is one of my favorite books on writing and I always try to get people to try it. In fact, it is coming up in one of my recommending books posts. I'm so glad it worked for you!!!<br /><br />And I feel the same way you do about school supplies!Jennershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08044537551139633301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-8959372350325940902010-07-18T20:43:19.460-05:002010-07-18T20:43:19.460-05:00I have mixed feelings about the beginning of the s...I have mixed feelings about the beginning of the school year.

I love the structure of the school year, but it is structured chaos. I love being able to sleep in and not having anything pressing to do.
