Thursdays Thoughts

It has been a while! I can't even begin to express how incredibly busy I've been in the last couple of weeks. It's INSANE! Let me give you a little recap.

First of all, last week marked the end of my first year of teaching. I can't believe how quickly it went by! The last couple of months have been trying because the kids completely checked out (and so did I), but we made it! I will NEVER forget the kids that helped make my first year so dang memorable. :) I was almost sad to see them leave last Friday... Almost.

This past weekend, we had our 3rd annual Survivor party. You can read about last year's here. It was insane and incredible (as it is every year). I always have the intention of getting in to shape beforehand, but I NEVER ever do. So, this year, I was on the green team again with Lisa, Greg, Sholanna and Joe. We had less people participate, so our teams were smaller-- meaning we all had more to do! It ALL paid off though because WE WON! Woo hoo! I have to say, Joe definitely pulled the team... He's a stinkin fireman for crying out loud. It was close for a while (with Matt's team, of course), but in the end, we pulled it out!! I am hoping we will get pictures soon so that I can post them. You can't even believe the trouble Matt's parents and their friends go through to put this on. Thanks guys!!

So, as most of my colleagues started their summer break this week, I started summer SCHOOL. Yep, that's right... I couldn't weasel my way out of it. Believe me, I tried. On the bright side, it's only 12 days long. We have 3 down and I'm out all next week. It shouldn't be too terrible.
In the midst of the summer and summer school madness, Matt and I have been wrecking shop in our backyard. His mom, Melanie is coming out tomorrow to help us do some landscaping. I am so sore and have mosquito bites all over my body... I think it'll be worth it in the end though. At least that's what I keep trying to remind myself. We'll see. :)

Anyway, I told you it has been insanely busy lately. Speaking of, I need to finish watching General Hospital so I can take my mosquito bitten butt back outside and back to work!!
