Journal entry 7

Rain!!! It is getting dark and windy out and hopefully we will be seeing a downpour here soon. I love storms! I love the dark dark skies and the wind blowing the smell of rain this way. We need this so bad. The poor grass is dry and crunchy under our feet when walking. I could take a little nap this evening if it rains. I have been sitting her all day long doing reading and homework for school. The Writers Workbench reading was a lot to take in. I should have started it days ago. I have been so busy this past week with school and the kids and the holiday. I have been getting myself a little worked up on getting through this online class. I am not so sure that I will ever take another online class if I can avoid it. I think the fact that it is a summer class as well, doesn't help. So much information and work in eight weeks. Oh there is the rain. So nice to finally get some. I might have to go curl up on the couch and read my new book. I haven't gotten much reading in this summer. Not any casual reading anyways. Reading for school, I've done plenty. I love reading for pleasure though and would like to make more time for it. So with the end of this day coming up I think that is what I will do. Curl up with a book.
