What a summer!

Where has the time gone! Time to start thinking about the new year but first here is the short version of my summer:
To start I updated the flooring in my home----finally. New carpet, new wood floor in the kitchen and Adam put in tile in the bathroom. It looks sooooo nice.
Next I had my second cataract surgery. All went well and now I can see. I hadn't realized how really blind I had become, sort of scary!
Then the summer school adventure. We had 19 very active, needy upcoming second graders to jumpstart for this coming year. Fun but exhausting!
Core Academy came the next week. Always a great experience and full of great lessons and freebies that I will put to use as soon as I can get in my classroom.
Lastly a week for me to relax where I painted the bathroom and helped Hillary and Daylarie host a yard sale.
Now for the wait. You see my school where I teach is undergoing a HUGE addition--new office area, 9 new classrooms, a new gym and several other small rooms including much needed restrooms. But you see the whole project is running late---didn't we expect that with construction! We are still starting school on time but we can't get in and prepare ahead of time like all teachers do. My frustration has turned to resolve---we are all in the same boat so why not enjoy the extra time of not running over to the school.
That is my summer in a nut shell. I am taking pictures of the school and will learn how to post them soon. Remember it is a school and not the war zone!
