Mid-week Exhaustion

I was looking through my photos from the summer the other day and I came across the album I put together after my husband and I spent a day at the local zoo.

This one seems to sum up how I'm feeling right about now:


That little creature is a rock hyrax (evolutionary cousin of the elephant, if you can believe it). Much like myself after a full day of teaching, it has collapsed in its tracks, completely tired and dehydrated from the heat of the afternoon.

I can't wait for "fall weather" to finally head our way. Days that reach upwards of 85 degrees in the beginning of September are no picnic ... Especially in a stuffy, non-air conditioned classroom where air flow is nonexistent.
