Summer has Come to an end :-(

Well, its official. Summer vacation is over. Back to the school routine tomorrow, getting things ready for Wednesday. We only have two days of preplanning this year so Ill be super busy for the next two days. Its a good thing I went in and set up my room last week. Now I have to get everything organized and cleaned up for the kiddos on wednesday.

At this point, Im a bit stressed. I don't have enough desks in my room for one thing. And another, my baby starts Pre-K this year. God only knows how ill react to dropping her off on Wednesday. It makes me sad but still happy that she's starting a new part of life. I only wish she could be attending the school where I teach. Hopefully, and opening will come up in the next couple of weeks and she can come to school with me. That will make me feel a lot better.

I went out for some supplies today and did pretty well at Walmart. They had alot of stuff on sale and I even price matched a few ads with Office Depot. A five pack of sharpies for $1.00, thats pretty good if you ask me. Coupons have begun to infiltrate every aspect of my life at this point. Always looking for a deal!

Summer Slump

Well, its official. My summer is not going to be long enough! Its a mere three weeks until the school year starts up again. Im looking forward to going back to school, but the couch potato in me just wants to stay on the sofa at all times. Headed for the beach in two weeks and I can't wait... I wish my husband's vacation days kicked in earlier in the year. It stinks going to the beach in August! Its gonna be super hot!

I keep trying to wrap my mind around the return to school. Theres much that needs to be done but I have yet to start on any of it. I guess its a good thing i still have three weeks then.

The End

The school year has come to a close. I wasn't the only one dancing on the sidewalk as those buses rolled out of the parking lot. Seeing fifth graders cry is always heartbreaking--they seem so grown up until the realize that they are leaving the only school they have ever known.

Another week of postplanning and the year will be through for me. Im hoping for a better summer than the last and a nice vacation to somewhere covered in sand and water. Maybe Myrtle Beach.Headed out to dinner with the family and then off to a barbecue tomorrow..
