Today was a good day. The last day of the summer program came and went and I said "goodbye" to my summer babies, I really enjoy my summer kids. The ages are varied with the average child being 8 in my class. That is such an awesome age. They've developed a sense of humor, they're still fairly respectful and they have also developed an independence so I have to do very little for them. We had alot of fun this year and summer flew by.

Talked a bit to Pastor today. He and I get along pretty well. Ya'll know I am not a crier. I hate crying in front of people, well, apparently I am comfortable round him cause I have cried twice in his presence. He must think I am a big ole baby. It's just nice to have someone other than my immediate circle I can trust and know nothing will be "shared" with anyone else. I even gave him the address to this blog...so ya'll behave yourselves ;oP (waves "Hi" to Pastor)

The last few days it has hit me that I will not be in the classroom this year. It's harder than I imagined it would be. Part of my identity is teacher and now, I have to change who I am. I really don't like changes...least not big ones. But, I am not "only" a teacher. Maybe it's time to find a new part of me that I've repressed or haven't discovered yet. Don't get me wrong, I am not suddenly going to start jumping out of planes or base jump or anything like that...but maybe I can look into cooking classes or something along those lines. I haven't used my hands creatively in such a long time, maybe I should look into pottery, knitting or something that lets me relax and create all at the same time.

That's all for now...I am off to Target to finish up on the school supply shopping. We're down to needing a trip to Victoria's Secret for the girls and me needing to check and see if Abercrombie and Fitch has started their clearance sale. They usually have great deals on last year's sweaters.

Keeeeeses and hugs to all.... TTYL~
