A Teacher's Summer Vacation

Friends, today the countdown to the end of the school year is officially OVER! The kids' last day was yesterday and today our staff "meeting" is going to be at Speedzone!

This means that my summer vacation is officially here! (Well, at least until the baby comes-ha!)

Have you ever wondered what it's like for a teacher on summer break?

It's best to think of it as a weekend:

The first month is like Friday night: you're ready to PART -TAY! You stay up late, you meet up with friends, you go out on the town, you yell Woo Hoo a lot, and have a general disregard for the future. You can still taste the sweet flavors of freedom.

The second month is Saturday. On Saturday, you sleep in late (of course!) but you end up getting out of your pajamas around noon to run some errands. You might clean the house, or work on that project you've been putting off.

The last few weeks is Sunday. Sure, you're technically still off of work, but Monday is looming a little too close in the horizon. On Sunday you might start to panic. You might finish that report that you were supposed to write, or get to those emails you were supposed to have dealt with on Friday. You may not enjoy your day very much because you're thinking about how awesome Friday and Saturday were and how LONG you will have to wait until the next weekend.


Of course, this is all going to play out differently this year with Baby Boy arriving in just four short weeks!!
