I am slowly bringing my sleep pattern back to the one I need for school. I am normally a day person out of necessity, because school is from about early morning 7am to about late afternoon 4pm, but under normal circumstances, I am a night owl.
When I pulled myself out of bed to go to the Agana Library for the Reading program, I had only two hours of sleep under my belt, so I was quite tired when I arrived there. However, when I got there, the activity quickly woke me up. There was a crazy amount of kids today. The hustle and bustle of today's session was enough to energize me through the whole event. My daughter was very excited, and it was a task to keep her from tearing the place apart. Shirleen and Robito were there as well with their daughters and we had a great time. When the event was over, I felt great, as I helped my daughter pick out some books with her new library card. She loves her "story time" and, as I type these words, she is egging me on to read her one of the books. And, so ends a nice day in books!
I can relate to what you are saying, I have been working hard to stay on top of things and I have sacrificed sleep. But you must admit, Dr. Sanchez did say that we could say bye to sleep for a while. It is all worth it if you think about it. I think that you guys did a great thing by reading to the kids and also taking your kids with you. We should all think about doing things like this more often. Again, great job!
ReplyDeleteI miss reading, ever since I started the MAT program, I haven't been able to read much. I can't wait to start reading for pleasure again.
ReplyDeleteI like that - A Day for Books. I think everyday should be for books, for some kind of reading. For all ages. I miss reading for pleasure as well. To just pick up a book and read it for fun - it's been a while since I've been able to do that. All the reading we've been doing this summer has been academic and beneficial, but I do wish I could have a day to hit the beach and just read a book by the shore again.
