Sweet Summertime...

On the last day of school, a reporter from the Ashland Gazette came around to each class picnic to interview a teacher on their summer plans. I was the “lucky” first grade teacher to be quoted and pictured in the Bluejay Banter section of the newspaper. The question was…What are you most looking forward to this summer? My answer…Relaxing, swimming and reading. I think I would get bored if I stayed home all summer.

Right now I am wishing for boredom! Until about a week ago, I had not been swimming, had not read a book and definitely had not relaxed! I am still anxiously awaiting a day where I have NOTHING to do. Two days with nothing to do is sounding even better right about now. Days where I am laying on the couch, watching TV and wishing for something to do! Instead of relaxing this summer I have been busy working at Cheri O’s three days a week and taking two summer classes. I love working at Cheri O’s. The people and extra cash are great. What I do not enjoy so much is coming home from work to do homework. On summer nights I would rather be outside than in front of my computer! I just keep telling myself that it will be worth it in the end. I am also sure I will miss taking classes when I am finished. Apparently there is no making me happy.

Anyway…Happy 4th of July! Now that I’m done with my homework for the week I’m off to relax, swim and maybe even read a book!
