Home is where I'd like to be on this "hump day" doing absolutely nothing but watching a movie or two or possibly reading and dreaming about living in France and visiting my favorite online family at La Cressonnière while sipping my Level 3 coffee and having some sort of chocolate cake.

Ever have one of those days? I am definitely in need of  a push to Friday.

----On another note thinking back to the weekend...here's what happened at the library----

E: Mom, read me a book please.
Me: Okay, well lets sit here on this fancy recliner and read a book.
E: Okay

[we sit and I began to read the book. However, E decides he rather get another book...so I let him go and pick another book - he comes back with a new book]


Me: Okay, let's read!

[I began to read the book]


Me: Hmm E, this book is umm, mmm, interesting and very long
E: okay, I will go and get another one

[E gets up and runs to grab another book. In the process he passes two women]


E to the women: Hey, I will be right back okay! I got to get another book. Mommy doesn't like the one I got!

Lesson Learned/Reinforcements:

My original post was to be on Will and Jada Pinkett Smith's adobe-style retreat residence.
Unfortunately, Honestly I was more inspired by the above. You can check out the Smith's place here.
