It's June already?!

It didn't feel like school was almost over until Memorial Day.  Three days to sleep in!  Does anyone besides a teacher understand that sleeping in means anything past 7:00 a.m.?  I love teaching, I really do.  But getting up at 5:00 (or trying to, anyway) gets harder and harder as the year goes on.

But it's a new month, and a new month means linking up with Farley. 

Listening....I wrote this last night when my youngest, now a sophomore in college, was hanging out with a group of friends down in the basement.  Good to hear them all laughing!

Loving....yeah.  I'm naturally an 11-7 kind of sleeper.  Teaching tries to change that in me, and after 12 years (12 years!) you'd think I'd have the hang of something more like 10-5.  I'm looking forward to waking up without an alarm for a while.

Thinking....I really do enjoy teaching.  And my mind's always going about what I can do differently or better, or how I can reach this kid or that one.  

Wanting...I'm moving to a new room.  And it's fine, really.  I just want someone who's more organized than me to come in and take over the packing part.  Any volunteers?

Needing...to trust that moving will get done.  It will.  Really.  

Vacation...nothing makes me happier than a good book, a good beach chair, and some sun.  Oh yeah, and my feet in the ocean.  What is it about the ocean that it just totally calms me down?  Does it do that for you too?

For those of us who are still in school - hang in there!  It's a little wilder right now with schedule changes all over the place, but it's all good stuff.

Have a good week!  3 1/2 days left for me!
