The clock keeps ticking

Okay- so today is the 7th of July.

This is simply crazy!
One month from today I complete the paper work at my new district.
How can that be?

Breathe....

I am so excited!
I have to admit I am going through MAJOR withdrawal from my little guy and V.
2+ weeks together 24/7 and now there is hardly even time to talk!
Soon, I will be seeing them all the time....

4th of July was fairly anti-climatic for me.
Being sick really did not encourage any outrageous behavior.
Oh well- too old for that business anyway. ha ha ha
I was able to see a little of 32 Below- a good local band.
And, of course, hang out with the family.
Cat was in town for the holiday and that was a good time.
I worked and made some money (which at this point is vital), and rested up for another weekend at the restaurant.

I have yet to unpack from H-town.
Pathetic, I know.
That definitely makes it difficult to begin packing for KC!

This weekend and early next week--- plus, begin the curriculum....

I am very excited-- the 8th graders read "The Diary of Anne Frank", which I think will be very interesting to teach... Plus, there are tons of short stories and poems- sounds familiar to the past two years with my freshmen. I am not sad Dickens did not jump out at me in my quick overview of the texts... I will deeply miss teaching the history of the French Revolution. Yikes. But, Mr. O would be proud of me, considering he thought I was off in la-la land all of AP European History... Only 50% of me was. :-)

Okay- must be off to make money....
The joys of my very difficult life. ha ha
