In the next few days I will be posting a detailed summer list of things to do. Most of them will be things that should have been done months or years ago but have patiently waited for me to get around to them.
My most exciting and scary thing is to work on my weight. That plan is in the making....
Be on the lookout. This post will be long. And I am going to need your help.

5, 4, 3, 2, 1, and then there was...SUMMER!!!
As I type, there are only 4 days of school left for the children. I will have to work the following Monday to wrap things up but I can finally see the end.
School has been strange this year. It seems like it was just starting last week and Christmas was just a few days ago. I honestly have no idea where the time has gone. I am sure in no time at all, another year will begin. And this past year will be five years ago....
The kids have long ago checked out. Right now we are just a glorified babysitter for 350 little runts (who I love dearly). But really, I don't mind. This is the time of year where you start to see really funny and quirky personalities surface, as well as sides that we could care less ever seeing. For some reason they feel they have gotten smarter and less visible. Neither have been proven to be true!
The sixth graders are ready to make their pilgrimage to the High School where they will get to feel like the first time 5 year olds again. It makes me laugh. They are scared to death and have started clinging for all they are worth. The big macho boys who could have cared less two months ago are now hanging around my classroom and desk, not wanting to leave and having to be forced to leave. I feel bad for them but am excited for them also. Their hormones have been in full gear for about a year and they are now walking empty shells of hormones in sneakers. That part can drive me crazy at times. I am going to miss them!
The girls can only spell DRAMA! They drive me crazy! Thanks to this sixth grade class, I am even more convinced that I should only mother boys. I absolutely have no tolerance or patience for the girls...and they know it. Poor things.
Welcome Summer---you have been anxiously teasing me for some months!!!
