This image pretty much sums up my work week this week...I am drowning in a sea of paperwork and phone calls. End of the month always kills me because I have contact notes, phone calls, and the Bugle (our monthly newsletter) to get out. This week makes me wonder why I took this job so I just have to recite my mantra: It's for the kids, it's for the kids, it's for the kids! If you hear me complain, please recite my mantra back to me because it's possible I need another reminder! Thanks so much :)

I can picture this in my head now...a day spent laying on the beach, splashing in the warm tropical water, and reading my new book of the week which currently happens to be Love the One You're With by Emily Giffin (who I happen to adore). If you haven't read any of her books, you need to run to your closest book store and pick up ANYTHING by her. I promise you will not be disappointed.

Today is one of those days when I want nothing more than to be laying on the beach and enjoying the warm sunshine as it shines down on my face. It has been FREEZING in the office all day today. I am literally typing this wearing a sweater (yeah a SWEATER). The central digital says 73, but uh yeah it has to be wrong. It feels like a frigid 65 in this place today. But I digress. I am going to finish up some paperwork, go for a run, and then settle into my chair on my backporch and get swept away by my book.
