This is the time of year when we are REALLY busy as things start winding down for the year. People think, "Oh, you (as a teacher) must be so excited to be almost finished for the year!" Yes, I am, but what most people don't realize is what goes into finishing the year and what is left to be done. The end of the school year tends to be the busiest time of the year, and I also have all the mommy and family things going on.
Just this past week my family was involved in 4 different SOL tests, 6th Grade Band Concert, Carleigh's Hip Hop Dance Recital, extended rehearsals for both and some very important afterschool teacher meetings.
Yes, I will miss my students this year, but I can't wait to be a stay at home mom for 2 1/2 months and not have to fit in my 7 loads of laundry on the weekend.
Enough griping.....I love my job, I love my family and I love being busy.....so as my college roommate used to say, we can sleep when we are old. :)
Carleigh is saying goodbye to her trombone after June 8th. She made it through the year, maintained a better grade in Band than I ever thought she would, and did not give up! Her final band concert of her foreseeable future was this past week.

Then we had her dance recital - it's crazy to think that we have been attending Carleigh's dance recitals since 2003! She had a great time and this year danced with a great group of middle and high school kids.
I had fun trying to locate recital pics from years past:

And here she is this year....

Carleigh had a great time and another year of dance is coming to an end. Only 4 more weeks and we are in summer mode. I can't wait!!!!!
Stay tuned for whatever might happen before we get to June 8th! At this point, who knows!?
