All Summer in a Day

I have about an hour before I need to get Mateo to his daycare and get us both dressed and ready for the day. Today is the second day of teacher workshop with open house tonight. I better make this blog quick. For some reason, I have not found the time to blog since early June. Maybe Facebook got in the way....hmmm.

Since my last post, we have enjoyed our summer that went as fast as I knew it would. In June Troy started teaching drivers' training and has since spent almost 200 hours in the car with students. Thankfully, he doesn't have too many eventful stories to share.

The big news is that my husband is now a "real" teacher! He got hired to work in Waubun which is an hour away. He will teach rotation classes for fifth and sixth grade. The two of us also enjoyed a couple getaway to Hawaii in August. It was so relaxing and quiet. I did miss Mateo a lot but not as much when we were sitting in restaurants enjoying an uninterrupted meal. Mateo was having more fun with Grandma Linda anyway! I could write more about what we did this summer, but I don't want this to turn into a Christmas card.

Now it's time to say goodbye to popsicles, freezies, hotdogs, visits with friends and family, summer strolls, relaxed schedules and all of the other things we love about June, July, and August. This time of year is always a little tough for me. I sometimes wonder what it would feel like not to have to go to school in the fall. I've been doing it for 29 years now. It's hard to transition from vacation mode to full-on work mode. I know, I know, you're shedding tears for me. While you get the Kleenex, I better log out and get ready.
