Schooooool's Out ....For Summer !!!

Do you remember that Alice Cooper song..."School's Out For Summer"? Well, it keeps running through my mind because....school's out for summer for me. YES!!!!

All that is left to do is pack up my office. We are moving into a new building and the district will be moving our stuff in a week or so. Having been a science teacher for 22+ years and now instuctional specialist for 4 yrs, I have accumulated a lot of "stuff". I'm having a hard time deciding what to do with all my snake skins, animal skeletons, rocks, bird nests, sharks teeth, etc. I have been known to stop along a road to pick up road kill in my younger years. Once while vacationing in Florida we came across a dead armadillo. As I slowed down, my husband and son yelled simultanously....not on vacation!

I don't have the heart to throw these away.

Now off to make my list of things I want to accomplish over the summer....Oh, I'm so excited and happy to be on summer vacation.

Busy Time of the Year

School is winding down and the idea of having time off is so exciting. But in order to get to the time off, I am breaking my neck trying to end the school year. It is mandated state testing time and organizing the testing for my school is one of my main responsibilities. As my grandmother used to say..."I am weary!" Counting test booklets, organizing all the materials making sure students needs are met is very time consuming. You know what would help me pass the time quickly...a new Apple Ipod that 5 Minutes for Mom is giving away. Please, please let me be the winner!!

Haven't done a thing with knitting, crocheting or sewing. I will soon, very, very soon... in two weeks this testing mania will be over and I'll be a free woman. YES!
