Happy Monday! It’s a very happy Monday here in the Carter house because it is the first official day of Thanksgiving Break! I think the stress of this school year has been getting to me a bit. This weekend, I cried at least twice. My first tears came when I opened the refrigerator to find that the previous night I had placed the ice cream carton there instead of the freezer. My second bout of tears came while trying to do a physics problem that didn’t have a corresponding example in the book. So, here’s to a week of relaxing and not thinking about school as much as possible.
But, first, let’s talk about this week’s Must Reads. Then, I’m off to do dishes and make a new batch of soup.
