Time . . . .

Time to blog?  I really don't remember what that is like? Do I even still have a blog? Can't quite remember? It's summer and that should mean plenty of time right? Apparently NOT!! I'm venting about it as well as maybe searching for a little sympathy (not too much however since I'm busy because of the choices I've made - so it's my own darn fault - mostly :))

June:

Math Initiative class for three credits - 5 long days of work and sitting

Jeremy's evening softball games either at 6:30 or 7:45pm

Jeremy working on his dad's new project (a house to remodel and re-sell)

working on keeping the darn birds out of our garden and cherry trees

swim lessons for the kids for 1 hour and 30 min. per day for two weeks

VBS from 9-noon the last week of June

A weekend trip to the cabin with my family

In the process of applying for a technology grant for my classroom

kids participating in the library summer reading program

time with family for Father's Day

Celebrating my sister-in-law's and my nephews birthdays

Taking our dog to countless vet appointments to prepare him to get his teeth cleaned and a few extracted

trying to read my quota of books for the month

Playing with our friends The Pucketts when they came to town for the weekend

potty training Rhett ( exhausting ) but worth it - I think he finally has it down :)

July:

4th of July spent with family (hopefully in Melba)

working in my classroom and preparing for 2nd grade (with kids in tow)

Disneyland for 10 days (whahoooooo!!!!)

Husband, Sister and nephew's birthdays

finding the right day care for Rhett once school starts

August:

Once August hits summer is officially over for me - I being frantically working in my classroom to get prepared for the next school year (yes - I've been teaching for 10 years and still have to prepare 1 to 2 weeks in advance to get ready for the year - and when it begins I never feel 100% ready)

We are hoping to fit in another cabin trip in August

celebrating our 11th year of marriage (it always falls on the first week of school - Boo!)

Celebrating my mom's birthday

Enjoying the excitement that that beginning of each school year brings (there is nothing quite like the excitement of the 1st day of school - I LOVE seeing the eager little faces line up outside my door full of potential and a bright future - I love them from the get go.)

Oh - and don't get me wrong! I feel crazy blessed to have this schedule as well - birthdays to celebrate, family vacations, trips to the cabin (my fav) - all of which lend themselves to tremendous memory building and laughter and for that I wouldn't trade a whole month of lazy days. Ahhhhh - I just made myself feel better!
