I'm BAAAAACK~
WE've been so busy with the house. After the loan was all signed and we had a month with no payment on the house, we decided to start on our next projects. All of the windows now have new blinds except my kitchen window..I don't want them there. We ripped up the floor in the kitchen and dining rooms saving ourselves almost $700 in costs having Home Depot do it...then decided to tile instead~I have to go tomorrow and pick out some tile and let the tile guy know what I want so he can go pick it all up . I hope it isn't making a mistake...vinyl just sounds so much easier to take care of. But, Bill really wants the tile and he so sweetly lets me have my way with the rest of the house as far as carpet and paint colors. He really, really likes blue....but lets me have green carpet and walls. I guess I can "give" on this one...lol.
I'm busy with work teaching the older students as I do every summer. It sure is different talking with them as opposed to my lil guys. However, I can't hardly wait to have my Kinders back. The only problem with that is as of right now, I have one student for next year who is a kinder...and he is in danger of being dismissed from the school due to behavioral issues. He needs psychological help but the family won't hear of it. I may end up with a class of Pre-K children instead....which would let me have a year to relax. I am always afraid that with the requirements the schools require now that I won't have taught my students "enough". True they leave reading and able to add and subtract, how to graph and label, measure and basics of money. They can rhyme and know the important parts of books (front cover, back cover, spine, title, author etc) But it is alot of pressure trying to keep up with the ridiculous requirements set by the state nowadays. Pre-K will let me do sooo much more art and have more time for music and movement and the like.
I'm on vacation this next week....and my FIL will be here form Florida. We' will relax tomorrow. Tuesday is Universal Studios and we hit the beach for a few days getting out of the heat here....we'll be leaving behind 106-108 degree weather in exchange for 69-73 degree weather :o) I worry about my dogs while I'm gone but, they do have a pool of water, a misting stand to sit under or near and a nice soft place to lie...and plenty of food, toys and chewies to amuse themselves.
The bad part about going on vacation while he is here, I always feel like I need a vacation from my vacation~
As to writing...I'm gonna TRY and start something this next weekend. I sure hope the words come to me...I need to write an average of 60 words a day to meet my Jix requirements...sometimes I think I should just resign NOW and not disappoint myself and the few people who read what I manage to put to paper~
