Sunday Scoop: 4/12/15

I'm excited to begin my foray back into blogging by  linking up with Teaching Trio for the Sunday Scoop Linky!

Have to Do:

I must must must get some chores done. I have been off for two weeks for Spring Break and have been cleaning regularly, but I'm still not satisfied. At the very least, I have to take care of the kitchen floor so my feet don't feel dirty every time I'm in there. The sheets also have to be done. I don't feel like I ever washed them so much until I had a husband and a dog. Huh.

My nails are embarrassing. Before I head back to school tomorrow, they need to be cut and painted.

Hope to Do:

I always have mild panic when going back to school after a break. I usually have school-related nightmares after taking forever to fall asleep. I'm going to have a bath, tea, and do a few minutes of meditation tonight to help ease me to a restful sleep.

I'd also like to start a new book today. I'm currently reading a few that I just can't get into. I need some recommendations.

Happy to Do:

It's my birthday! Woot! Woot! Hubby and I went for a hike with the pup this morning, then we had a visit from my mom and stepdad. They brought over two milkweed plants so we can start attracting some butterflies up in here. After that, I went for a super relaxing massage and we're headed off to a family dinner tonight in a bit.

I hope everyone has a great week and I'm sending some extra special love out to those returning from Spring Break!

Let me know if you have any book recommendations. I could use them.
