1.5 days

Until school gets out
Until I get a break
Until I get to enjoy my first free summer in 3 years
Until I can sleep in
Until I can accomplish things around the house
Until I can do stuff I wanna do (hobbies)

I can't wait!

Eight More Days

Eight more days...till I am free at last. (At least for the summer.) Can't wait!

Can't a girl get a little sleep

Can't a girl get a little sleep? The answer is no if you live around here. This little guy is always buggin' me while I'm trying to get my beauty rest. Case and point: Thursday night I was sleeping peacefully until some very early time in the morning...I think it may have been like 2 or something.Then I feel little Blackie licking my hair. I cover my head part way and get him away. Then a couple second later he's back at it. This time I cover my entire head and leave just a breathing hole by my chin. He gets up, snoops around, finds the hole, sticks his paw in and starts tapping me...What's a girl gotta do to get a few winks around here?

Fires

We've been experiencing very dry weather. With dry weather comes forest fires. We've had a few around here the past few months. But, today when I went to my car after work I caught the news first thing. The interstate was closed down at our exit...and at a couple of other exits. I had to take an alternate route. I did pretty well on my chosen route until about five miles from my turn off...then traffic became stop and go. We'd have to pull over for fire trucks, police cars, etc. We could see smoke in the distance. Finally after about 1 1/4 hours I was able to turn off to my road. What should have been normally a 45 minute drive was nearly doubled. On the way home, I saw people squirting water all over their roofs. There were emergency vehicles all over. Helicopters were circling the area as well as a plane. The fire was about 1-3 miles from here but has burned something like 300 acres...I don't think any homes will be destroyed though..none so far. What a crazy day...and it started with no electricity this morning from about 4am till sometime after we were gone for work.
