Hum Dee Dum
Five days until oral surgery...nine days until Bible school prep. And moving just may be right around the corner...

Last Day of School
The kids' last day was today! It was sad. But I didn't cry! Can you believe it? Probably because I've been crying myself to sleep for the past three nights. :)
I'll miss my kids!

I Am the Princess
Things have been crazy around here! As usual. Revamping the reception plans. Praying for a photographer and DJ miracle.
Good news! One of my new friends (yay for new friends!) is engaged! I told her I am so mad because she just got engaged last week and is getting married BEFORE me! September 3rd! I envy her though because she doesn't have to spend 9,000 months planning. I am sick of planning. Okay, it hasn't been very difficult, I will admit. But I'm just sick of it. I think weddings should be surprises. I've picked my dress...who wants to throw a surprise wedding?
I have been very tired lately. It must be the fighting off ear infection bugs. I don't know.
Does anyone watch SNL? Did you see lastnight's? Lindsay Lohan? My favorite SNL person is Amy Poehler. Cracks me up.

Crrrrrunch Time!!!!
2 Weeks left and I am a FREE woman!
Until I have oral surgery, have my annual super fun dr. appointment, teach Bible school, go to Ohio, throw a party, take part in a wedding, attend my own party, move Ohio stuff down to Florida somehow, take summer teacher classes about vocabulary and comprehension, get hard core into wedding planning...
Summer vacation? What summer vacation?
It's not a good sign when my arm feels numb, is it? Am I having a heart attack?
Does anyone watch that show "House?" I love that show. I think I'm having a stroke. Just kidding. I'm a dominatrix. Just kidding.
I didn't know what that word meant, "dominatrix." But John did. I'm worried.
On to better things...Senior Night tonight at church! I'm not that excited. It takes a lot of work to be "cool" lately. I guess it's always been that way. For me :)
Anyway, I got all my grades in already! Next up: Making Father's Day gifts, celebrating summer birthdays, and getting final stuff ready for my students' cumulative folders.
Fun!

Better Days!
I really enjoyed your comments on my last post! Thank you :)
My students have been MUCH better now that our stupid, stupid tests are over and it isn't storming anymore! Thank goodness! I was going to be so mad at them if they made me hate them by the end of the year. You know, it would make it easier to say goodbye if I didn't like them, but what fun is that? I know they'll always remember me as the teacher who bawled her eyes out on the last day of first grade.
I had been sleeping better except for lastnight...what kept me awake was thinking about my new babysitting clients. I think I am going to do it one more week and then call it quits. Seriously, it stresses me out worse than anything because...oh yeah, I can't tell you.
I signed a contract, remember?
Anyway, I did learn how to play Halo 2...which made me wish that John wouldn't like video games so much so then at least our children would be less likely to turn out like these children I babysit...
Not that it's because of the video games, but seriously, some kids should not be playing killing games. Especially satanic ones.
Have you ever hated a child? I just can't stand this kid. I mean really. He tells me I'm stupid, to shutup, and that I'm an idiot. And then he tries to bite his mom and attack her. I'm sorry, but hello, that's pretty good reason for a spanking...I don't care how great of a child psychiatrist you are. His father is a psychiatrist. Yeah. Talk about frustrating.
Man, I breached my contract, didn't I? I hope I don't get sued.

Matisse, Picasso, Busy...Jobless Fiance, Retirement, Butterflies, Contacts, Tired...
Okay, I will try to make this brief!
Matisse, Picasso and Friends...
...visited Naples Museum of Art. Interesting, but crowded. Enjoyed Matisse more than I expected. Unimpressed by Picasso works (surprisingly) but love him best anyway. I went by myself. Enjoyed that part. Stopped by a cafe and had a fancy sandwich while I sat outside reading a book. Good fun. I was the mysterious girl, alone at the cafe...and the museum.
Busy
End of the year. Craziness. Constant testing. Letting the kids paint while I test small groups because I've neglected that this year. Celebrating Cinco de Mayo soon along with Mother's Day...how to fit it all in? We're painting a flower pot in memory of Maiya's mom, who died last year in a car accident.
Jobless Fiance
Yeah. Long story. Not fired. No new job as of yet. Need prayers.
Retirement
Spending a lot of money on retirement parties for coworkers because...I feel like I really should go to the things. 25 dollars a plate. Sigh.
Butterflies
Beautiful!!! I want to get my own butterflies every year whether I am a teacher or not. We let Brianna go today. It was heart-wrenching, but inspired creative little writings.
Contacts
One is "broken." It must have fallen out in the morning...because I found it on the sink later, and it was all dried out...and it fell apart. I know not what to do. My eyes are irritated, too, because I walked in the house while flea bombs were going off with my one contact in (no one told me the flea bombs would be going off). Now it stings to put the contact in at all.
Tired
I can't sleep because I lay there thinking about how I will arrange my classroom next year. You'd think if I were having trouble sleeping, it would be about something serious. But no...I think about where to put my desk, if I should get a new bookshelf...etc. Silly silly.
