It's just a forced break! I think it would be a wonderful treat for those kids to have you as a teacher, especially teaching a subject that takes lots of heart and sensitivity to teach!<br /><br />I've been so tired lately that I have gotten out of my habit of writing every day. Sometimes it's easier to zone out to the TV when I finally do get some me time. But I'm hoping that November will be a bit different.

The kids are only at home once so enjoy being with them and chasing after them. Then you can focus on poetry to ease the pains of being an empty nester.<br /><br />I'd love to attend one of your religion classes.
