Dear diary...

I've been off my blogging routine for a bit. The end of the school year is always chock full of drama. Who is getting pink slipped, losing their job share partner, has to move to a different grade level, school, etc. Teachers stressed about these changes and all of the end of year events and extra work. Students anxious/excited about summer and what's to come for them. A nice twist is that I have been feeling the love lately from my kiddos and families (after another disappointing teacher appreciation week.) I guess when it happens organically, it is more meaningful. After our fab open house, we had a wonderful end of year BBQ yesterday. The kids had the best time, and my parents and student teacher rocked with helping pull it all together. Everyone is in major countdown mode to the last day, but I would be happy to stay with my kiddos a little longer. The end always seems to arrive so fast and furious.

I will be squeezing in work all this lovely memorial day weekend, in between parties, some relaxation, and cleaning up my neglected house! : ( As always, whenever it is time for a transition (start of a new calendar year, beginning of summer, new school year) I always am setting goals and reinventing myself. Stay tuned for my summer plans.....
