It’s Been a Long Week

My daughter is starting to go on the mend, but she’s still sick today. As for me, I’m so glad not to be teaching–an illness that lasts 3-4 days is just brutal for a teacher. My kids always had a knack for getting sick just when my husband was out of town and during 3rd class period. But anyway, she’s bouncing around, singing and skipping, despite the 102 fever. I’ll never understand how kids can be that cheerful with high fevers. I would be half dead if I had the fevers she’s had this week, but she’s managing to keep her spirits up.

If any of you live in the southeastern or Virginia Beach areas, please come this Sunday between noon and four p.m.! There will be around 145 authors (including me) signing books at Town Point Park for the Books in the Park festival. Hope to see you there!
