Summer Time

I am so enjoying the summer. Each day I get up and think "I don't have to go to work today and I am getting my house, life and family back in order". It feels good I tell ya.

We bought a new camera. Now I just need to figure out how to upload pictures and I hope to post some pictures of our lives and garden, this summer. My garden is in and plants are up. I got it in earlier than last year, so I hope to get more veggies from it. It has rained for the last two days, so everything has had a nice soaking.

We went to the Ringling Bros. Barnum and Bailey Circus last Friday night. Becca loved it and Laura didn't. Laura said that it was geared to children younger than her. Ah, she really is growing up. I suppose that since we only go to the circus every 10 years or so, the next time will be with our grandkids. Yikes!!!!

Laura started hockey. She and I are getting along a lot better. I think I am learning to give her her independence and she is learning that sometimes, I am right. Ha ha. Becca will start voice lessons in a couple of weeks. Both are doing camp this summer and I am hoping to squeeze in a trip to Florida to see my folks, with Becca. I am so proud of both my girls. Laura finished the year with a 4.0 grade average. Becca got several awards for her "Battle of the Books" success.

I am getting really excited about my new job. I have been leveling my children's books and putting my lesson plans in order. I can't wait to begin, though there is a part of me that is a little scared of the unknown. I don't know the kids. I don't know the staff. I have been so focused on "behavior" type lessons, I am a little concerned about being able to now teach academics. This is what I have wanted to boost on my resume, so I will give it my best shot. I think I am really going to like it.

I suppose that's the lastest for now. Just cleaning and enjoying the summer.
