Every day of the week, you want to pound your head against your desk.
Hitting the Books with Dr. Brooks
As a seasoned educator with over 20 years of classroom experience, my job has often felt never-ending. Summers were often spent trying to cram as much as I could into my realm of relaxation, without complaining that as a mother of 3, that relaxation that I had been dreaming about all school year may not live up to the hype. With all the added stress that being a parent to school-aged children brings to my job as a teacher, all I ever want to do in the summer is sleep a little later and not have to worry about planning anything. The only advantage of this for my children was the fact that if mommy is on break- we are ALL on break.

Heating Up Texans Training Camp: Day 13
Texans head coach Bill O’Brien gave his players a much-needed break from the heat today as they practiced inside the bubble for the first time in over a week.
