I just wanted to take time tonight to post two fun pictures from my trip to Aruba a couple years ago. I think this is me and my brother, but it might be Sarah. Snorkle goggles make it hard to tell. My dad likes to call this activity, "Goggling!" He is too funny. Anyway, I hope all of you are enjoying your summer. My brother, Sarah, and little Aidan moved into their new home! I can't wait to visit. I wish the California trip did not fall during the same time that my parents are visiting Mike, but who can pass up California! Craig is in Maine enjoying his lake house. I miss him already and it has only been one night. Sheesh. I am still working on Science curriculum until Thursday and then MY VACATION BEGINS!! I will be in Turners for Danielle's grad party and to dog-sit for Piper and Jackson. Then I am off to Los Angeles with Abbe until the 16th, then I get a turn at the lake house in Maine! Yessah! I will be sure to post many pictures. All the while I have a HUGE fund raiser to plan! Well, that is all for now. Miss you and love you all!! Hugs and Kisses!!!

Oh Where Is My Summer Vacation?
Whew! I am feeling exhausted at the moment. My brain is a bunch of mush and I am not enjoying myself. Our last day of school with kiddos was on Friday. It was bittersweet saying goodbye, but we did it. It was only a half day, so the other half we worked. We spent about 2 hours moving stuff. The 1/2 teacher and the 5/6 teacher are switching classrooms, so we needed to empty both of them out in order for rugs to be cleaned and swapping to happen. So, I helped move bookshelves, boxes, books, plants, file cabinets, and whatever else I could grab. Back and fourth I went. Then we spent an hour talking about lunch and assemblies.
I was dog sitting this weekend, which was nice, but not too relaxing as I was in someone else's house, watching their dogs. It was fun, but not relaxing. Monday I was back at school. We spent 4 hours moving more furniture, cleaning fridges, wiping things down and cleaning. My muscles hurt. Our principal took us to lunch at Panera, and we called it a day at 2. That was nice. Tuesday we were back at school where we planned next year for 4 hours! Yup! 4 hours. After that I made a few phone calls, mailed home summer school letters, and put a few things away. Still working. I got my balloon check, so I came home and paid many, many bills! That was no fun. Craig and I went to the mall. Trip is supposed to take a little over an hour, we got lost and it took almost 2! Yuck! We wanted to go to a diner, it was closed. I did get a good cheesesteak at Bently's though, so that was nice.
Today, back to school. Well, back to work. I am on the science curriculum committee and we started our 7 day work session today. 8 - 2:30. Tomorrow, Friday, and Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of next week 7:30 - 3! Ick! Craig is happily enjoying his summer and I am still working. It is not easy. I am jealous and tired. Bleh. We are off to the cape this weekend for a wedding, then Craig is off to his lake house in Maine. I will be back to work in Keene, to Danielle's Grad party on Saturday the 5th, then California on the 9th. I hope to post more upbeat posts later. I am just a grouch today.
I better go get some ice-cream!
