Green Eggs and Ham

My days are rarely empty and I definitely don’t get enough sleep, but I imagine that won’t change. I have school Monday through Friday and practice after school usually. Sometimes there isn’t space in the gym or it matters what season it is so we might have it in the morning. Though I have decided to not play basketball this school year, I am still busy.

every night before going to sleep, my mother would set me on my wildest dreams. She would read me my two favorite books Another Monster at the End of this Book and Are You My Mother?

Every night before bed, my mom and I would read a page out of a children’s bible book called Blessings Every Day as opposed to the classic Green Eggs and Ham.
