Ahhh... summer vacation. I start counting the days until school's out as soon as April vacation is over. I love, love, love Spring and as soon as the weather gets warm, I start dreaming of lazy mornings when anyone who chooses to can sleep late. The end of packing lunches, snacks, bus snacks, homework folders and water bottles into backpacks. The end of waking the kids up early to rush them through the morning, and telling Ari that I don't have time to sit with him on the couch because I'm packing lunches and snacks and bus snacks...
I'm working very part time this summer and my job starts on July 5th. So this is the week that the kids and I have off together with no real plans. We have a week and a half or so off starting mid-August also, but that seems awfully far away right now. And now this week is drawing to a close too, with the long weekend approaching rapidly.
Sometimes the weeks I look forward to the most don't live up to my (our) expectations. Luckily, this week was absolutely fabulous. We went swimming at the YMCA, miniature golfing, had the best ice-y treats ever at Rita's in Salem, shopped, went to Springs Brook park with friends, went out for ice cream, swam at a friend's pool and had lunch outside, and hopefully a trip to Water Country is soon to come. THe weather has been perfect, sunny and hot, even on the days rain was predicted.
Unfortunately, I never got to my classroom to do any setup, and I'm supposed to. So I may have to do that tomorrow. And I have to meet one of my students to hand off daddy hamster; she's willing to provide a summer home for him. I'll have to do that tomorrow as well. I didn't get to the meeting at the high school I was planning on attending this morning, and I have a ton of phone calls to make and bills to pay and errands to run. I know I won't get all of that done tomorrow. But it's ok, it's summer vacation.
