Seven Days

(Fancy Nancy center in Pre-K... can you say divas?)

To all teachers... most of you are already on summer break. Congratulations, you made it through another school year and now you get a couple of months off to regain all of your now dwindled patience you'll need for the next bunch of kiddos.

To all mothers... have a fun summer with your babies. They need your love and attention so much!

Well, I have 7 days left of school (not that I'm counting or anything). I am more than ready for some time off! I have had a challenging class this year, behavior- wise anyway. I have also had a very sweet, funny bunch of kids, too. They absolutely crack me up. The little blond haired girl in the picture below has stolen my heart. She sometimes acts like she is off her rocker, but she is hysterical. She was a shicken hawk (chicken hawk) for Halloween this year, she bosses all of the boys around and they actually do what she says, and her pants are always falling off of her (because she is a size 3...teeny, tiny little thing) and she doesn't even notice. I will miss little things like that in all of my students that are going off to the big world of elementary school. BUT I am still very ready for summer! I need to recharge my teacher, nurse, custodial batteries (yes, I am all of those things on a daily basis).

What am I going to do for the next 6 weeks to rest up for next year?

-train for my 2nd 1/2 marathon (also, helping my mom train for her 1st 1/2)
-mow the yard

-paint a bathroom
-power wash sidewalks and Little Blue House
-overhaul my sun room
-clean up and beautify "Secret Garden"
- hopefully read lots and lots and bake in the sun occasionally

(Aloha Summer!)
