a no picture thought

Drowsy droopy eyes wish to express the desire to post something important for all my friends and family to know. Instead, weary bones type out endless words to say this has been a LONG week (even though there wasn't any school on Monday for me!) But if I could snap the pictures of this week YOU would see Chato emptying out the stack of skyscraper dishes from the kitchen sink, Aly stretched out across her bed in the evenings refusing to shower until we force her to, and Brandan stuck diligently to his ever ending stash of homework assignments as the grade levels grow ever more challenging. Where am I in all of this? I wished I could say that this week's students' papers were graded and recorded in gradebook. I dreamt that I awoke to a sparkling clean house that magically stayed that way. But in the end somewhere between working the afterschool program, getting dinner on the table, and going up and down the stairs picking up this and that and carrying it from one place to another - I can't answer that question.

So in the end, this is my only effort in expressing my true sentiment for the moment:

My sincere appreciation to my girl, Louisa who shared this cool dude with me!!
