It’s a Monday
Ever feel like something is off and you just can’t figure out what it is? From the time I got dressed this morning, until around 7am, I just felt like something was off. Couldn’t figure out what exactly, until I was in the teacher’s lounge, waiting to make copies while talking to Karla that I…
