I'm back, and I have work to do!

From June 15th through July 11th, my husband and I were renting a flat in Pilsen, Czech Republic. We were meeting with friends and working with our church mission team to teach a conversational English Camp the last part of our visit. It was a wonderful change to our often chaotic lives. I was "unplugged" most of the month and unable to post my #bookaday readings, but I did finish a dozen books on the trip! (I'll post a complete list in the next few days.)

Not quite a week back in the States and I have already started "work mode." My husband complains, but I don't have much choice...there is so much to get done. I attended two summer staff developments this week and have more scheduled in the days to come. It's fun to be back in the saddle; however, the new school year looms ahead of me and I'm stuck!

I should know better. I should remember Robert Burns' words, "the best laid schemes, o' mice an' men..." and try not to be disappointed.

But I am.

Rumor had it, my library was going to start getting its makeover right after I left the country and be completed before I got home. I realize this was a best case scenario; I know how much work needs to be done....but it's not even close to where I thought it would be with only 37 days left until the first day of school. ~takes deep breath in, deep breath out~



It will all be okay.

I have a plan B...I always have a plan B. :)


If I can just keep my husband from killing me because of the amount of "junk" I have to store at the house until the library is ready to move into.


 

Here's hoping things get going and going fast!
