School's out for summer!
well... 5 weeks anyway....and I have to start with training on 29th...but lets not think about that....
i'm done with kids for 5 weeks!
YAY!!!
I've got my flights for the summer booked. (except the one for Chief and Ecogirl's wedding, but that's not until august 8th....oooh I should book that one soon. lol
summer school went well. the group is really rough, lots of attitude and emotional baggage but I love them to death. all of the roughest boys have been my buddies since they were in 6th grade so I'm hoping to cash in on that and help them grow up a bit this year.
My roughest girl and I went out shopping for school supplies, it was a really positive day. We talked more that day than we had all of the previous year (she's being retained). she's seemed so much happier this summer than she did all last year. We're really hoping her dad doesn't try to withdraw her, she really needs the supportive environment and another year of content to be prepared for high school.
the last day of school she gave me a thank you note. =) It was really sweet. Here's to hoping we can continue to build the bridge and help her become successful so she can get out of the CRAP home situation she's in.
Had a massive game party last night. =) 10 people. it was crazyness, but a lot of fun. We played Munchin, but mixed the Fu and Booty decks so we had ninjas and pirates! and then we played Bang! the second game of Bang was the LONGEST game of Bang I've ever seen, it was tons of fun.
I can't wait to be in cali!!! I'll be there from the 10th until early morning 21st!
See you all soon!
