Teaching isn't for the faint of heart. This is twice true when you have responsibilities outside the work place - like parenting. Our youngest was taken into the ER last night on the count of the croup. His coughing sounded worse than it was and I'm glad we decided to take him in and thankfully our little man is doing better, but trying to funtion at my best with only two hours worth of sleep is no fun. This reminds me of a book my mother-in-law got me for my birthday called Do Hard Things by Alex & Brett Harris. It's marketted toward teenagers with the premise being that teenagers in our society have low expectations because we're conditioning each other to do what's easy. You know who else doesn't settle for the easy way out, kids? Jeremy Lin. Look up the Harvard grad and see what not giving up has gotten him so far.
Today's bow was part of my collection prior to this challenge. It's a great green, silk with cream polkadots number from Beau Ties Ltd from Vermont. Clearly, I'm still not over the new jacket. I'll tell you more about the book after I've read a couple chapters. Happy Monday, friends!
