Middle of June... already?

Wow! Time really flies, doesn't it? I can't believe it is already the middle of June!

I spent last week wrapping up school stuff like report cards, filling out paperwork, completing the end of year checklist, going to meetings, and packing up my classroom! It actually only took four days to completely purge and then pack up and clean out my classroom. I guess that all my moving about these past four years has paid off! I'm a very efficient box-filler! ;-)

Today I did my usual "first day of vacation" routine... slept in a little, cleaned the house and cooked. Having a clean house really helps you breathe deeply, doesn't it? Just kind of a deep sigh of relief! :) And then I made some homemade gluten-free, dairy-free pizza. I've been craving pizza for the longest time but it is very expensive to buy a gluten-free/dairy-free pizza. Homemade is the way to go but time-consuming. Mmmm-mmmmmmm good!

Next I listened to a sermon and then watched some Andy Griffith. Actually I'm quite embarrassed... I spent three hours watching Andy Griffith. Yikes! Well, as long as it's not every day, right?

It was quite rainy this morning when I woke up, but it has cleared up to be a lovely spring evening! The temperature this evening is about 55 degrees, but with just a hint of humidity that makes it a comfortable 55. Plus the sun is shining, and when it touches your skin you just feel so happy. :) It's a beautiful evening!

It was so lovely that I just took myself outside to go on a run. And by a run I mean a run-walk-run-walk-run-walk sort of deal. It's a work in progress. ;-)


I'm enjoying summer break, but I sure miss my kiddos! All of them! I miss my school kiddos and keep wondering how they are doing. I miss my niece-and-nephew-kiddos too. So much! I can't wait to get back to the midwest to squeeze them tight. My sister posting pictures of her visit to the beach with my nephews didn't help any. *Ahem* Christy. Not kind! ;-)

I'm already thinking about next school year, new ideas, and how I'm going to decorate the new classroom. I have a couple of projects to work on these next couple of weeks, I just hope it's enough to keep me busy until I leave for Indiana!
