Rainy Summer Days

It sure hasn't seemed like summer. The temperature has been a lot cooler and it's raining again today. In some ways it is nice because I don't like it when it gets really hot, but I also want to feel like it is summer. I had talked about taking the kids to Lagoon this week but it's way too cold. I finished getting my garden spot ready to plant my raspberries yesterday. It started to rain when I was finishing up and continued to rain throughout the day. I bought some raspberry plants yesterday afternoon and some lilac bushes. I want to get them planted today. For whatever reason I haven't been sleeping very good lately. Last night I woke up and couldn't get back to sleep for almost two hours! Needless to say, I am tired today. I didn't sleep well the night before last either. I also finished reading my book, Proust and the Squid by Maryanne Wolf. It wasn't as dry as I had suspected. It gave a lot of information about the reading brain and all the complex processes that go into learning how to read. I finished my "Foundations of Literacy" class and will start the remainder of my reading endorsement classes again next fall. I think it should be very interesting. I really would like to be a better reading teacher. Tom and I have enjoyed watching re-runs of MASH. For mother's day Tyler bought season 2 for me on DVD. It's been fun to watch them. I have some stuff for sale on e-bay and I plan on saving up enough to buy all 11 seasons. Hopefully the auctions close out good today.
