There’s only 4 days left until the last day of school for the kiddos.  I am soooooooo ready for the end of the school year and the thought of catching up with the house work and doing my regular summer house-cleaning is actually refreshing.  That is, AFTER my relaxation of a couple of days anyway!

The past couple of days have been extremely busy.  For those regular blog readers of mine, you might remember that the 4th grade classes went on a Nocturnal Adventure at our local zoo last year.  This is now a yearly thing and our classes went Thursday night, spent the night in the gorilla house, then spent the whole next day touring the zoo.  It was a blast but boy, was I tired when I got home Friday!

Then we were getting ready for the community-wide garage sale.  Turns out we were the only ones participating this year but we had some good traffic today and now it’s over with.  Whew, now we have to pack up the rest of the stuff for consignment shops and donations for different organizations.  Sales are A LOT of work for very little profit, but at least we got rid of some bigger items like our old swing, J’s old twin bed (she now has a double), 2 rocker swivel chairs, and quite a bit of miscellaneous.

So, now I just have to survive the next 4 days.  Monday will be a long day with interviews after a regular school day since our school is adding a new 4th grade teacher.  I still have papers to grade, grade cards, to write, DCAs to finish up with, a ton of data to sort through, not to mention organizing and somewhere in there I’ll do a bit of teaching.  And yearbook signing.  And talent show and Golden Eagle assembly.  And then being gone for the morning of the last day of school, which means sub plans, and Taylor’s graduation.  Then the 5th annual ice cream social.  And then, on the 23rd, clean-up and check-out.  Wow, I’m tired again already!
