School's Out for Summer :)

Let the Games Begin. School Bus Races Commence. Game on! Yesterday was the last day of school for my district. Report Cards went out, hugs were given, tears were streaming. This year was especially hard. When I began teaching, there were 7 new teachers coming in with me to our building. One in particular stuck out and we became quick friends.

Over the years, she has become my closest friend and I love her dearly. This year was her last with me. She has decided to find a position closer to home so that she can start a family and be both a wonderful teacher and a wonderful mother and I am so happy for her. But... I will miss her like crazy. We were always paired together by our students as the funniest or the best... and then there was one. Don't get me wrong, I wish the best for her, but I had every intention of duct-taping her to her chair so she couldn't leave yesterday. Didn't happen, but we are all good.

In other news, Ty took off the afternoon to be with me yesterday and it was so nice just having him around when I was hurting. He has been a rock lately for me. I am so lucky to have him. This weekend my older baby sister moves into town with her boy toy. I think we are in over our heads with her :) Don't worry, Mom, I will take good care of her. Not much else is going on. I am going to go in to work to do some consultant work Tuesday and then we start Summer School the 9th. Yay for extra money.

I really do love teaching all the different grades in Summer School. It is something completely different from my regular job and I adore the little ankle biters :)

Happy Memorial Day Weekend!

Hope you are having a nice weekend. We are down home with the in-laws and having a nice time. School is wrapping up nicely and we had a nice visit at the Planetarium that went well. No major blunders. We watched a film on Space Shuttle Launches. Neat stuff.

This weekend we went to see Indiana Jones and I thought it was great. I have seen all of the previous movies, but never more than once or twice, so this one was pretty good for me. I loved the story and all the cinematography. Call me a Geek... it fits.

Not too much else is going on. Feeling tired and worn out. Ready for a break before we head into Summer School. One month of Summer School and then a month of potentially life-changing events. Things are looking up in my little world. Now I just have to keep my fingers crossed that all turns out well.

Lots of love!

6 1/2 more student days :)

Smile! The School year is coming to a close. Summer School is on its way and July will be here before I know it.... and then it is BREAK TIME! This week we are heading to the Planetarium for our field trip. I am so excited. Yay for end of the school year!!!

Relaxation

Monday Tyler and I took a day for ourselves. We went to the Cards/Cubs series over the weekend, got back late Sunday and made Monday our own. It was so nice. We both took personal days and just enjoyed the day. It was in the mid 70s. Ty mowed and installed his new, beloved garage lights. I went on a shopping bonanza at the local nurseries and planted my lil heart out. I ended up filling over a dozen pots with flowers of all kinds. They make me so happy :)
