As I sit here at my computer with my cup of coffee at 11:38 am on a Tuesday.... really appreciate my job. All year long you endure the drama and craziness of teenage chaos that is high school. But in all actuality I only work about 186 days a year (that is what my contract says anyway) and don't get me wrong I still think teachers are horribly underpaid; but summer break makes it all worth it to me. I could never stay home 100% of the time..I personally would go crazy but this is just about the r
ight amount of time off to refresh my soul. This summer of course I start teaching summer school in 2 weeks but with Zach practicing four days a week during All-Star season I might as well be making some money if I am stuck in town. All-Stars and summer school end in the middle of July and that still gives me about a month before I have to report to Hamshire-Fannett. (August 18) Summer school only goes 730 am to 1230 pm so I still have half a day to relax. We still have plenty of time for the beach, water parks, movies, picnics, and the park. And for me there is plenty of time to read my books and spend time with my sweetie, Sean. After three months though, Zach and I have worn on each others nerves enough and we are ready for school to start. By the time Thanksgivings rolls around we will be ready for some time together again. :) This summer I am making Zach do daily work in some workbooks I bought and the first day was a fight but he will get used to it. I don't want him to forget everything he learned and have a hard time starting 3rd grade like we did last year. I don't think 15-30 mins a day on the weekdays is going to hurt him. I am doing some moving between Vidor and Hamshire this week so I still have to go by the schools. Today I am going to Vidor to pick up a few things out of my room. Tomorrow I will take some things to HF since I don't have to go to Vidor for ball practice. Nothing to productive though:) Now I am off to finish my coffee and relax and read my book.
Zach and his 3 good friends on the All-Star team this summer. GOOD TIMES!
