Summer is HERE!!

Well...at least partially here! Evan is now officially a 6th grader....which is difficult for me to grasp. One more year and he'll be in junior high.......he received an award for HONOR ROLL on Thursday for having outstanding grades. His report card this trimester wasn't as good as the last one was but still good. I had noticed him not putting 110% effort in...but his teachers comments were touching!
So now that he's off...what to do with him??? This week he and I are heading to Charleston, SC to visit one of my closest friends. Can't wait to see her....she moved a year ago and I've only seen her once since. Alex and Dave will hold down the fort here.....Alex still has 4 more weeks of school!
With the ending of school, it's also the ending of my first year not teaching full time...what a GREAT year it's been. I really don't miss the daily interactions with the kids as much as I thought I would. What I do miss is the friendships with the other teachers. Next year I'll be teaching for about 6 months for another teacher here at our neighborhood school (YEAH!!!)...so we'll see how I like the day to day teaching again!
Hmm, just got a report that the temp of the pool is about 84 degrees...should I venture in??? Problem is..that's the temp for the top 6 inches....the bottom 5 feet is COLD!!! Yep...summer has most definately arrived here......
