Tuesday, August 3, 2010 8:46 am
I woke up this morning feeling like I hadn't slept at all, which is not a good thing when it's only Tuesday and we're just hitting the middle of fair week. I saw some kids napping in a chair, under a tent, curled up in a fleece blanket yesterday morning, which seemed kind of funny knowing that it was 73 degrees out, but after the heat we've seen this summer, I agree that 73 can feel a little chilly. Maybe I should pack a blanket in my backpack with me today.
