Let My Summer Begin!

Today was the last day of school.  It was fabulous!  Normally, I put off all of the checkout procedures for staff until the very end, but I was done and had all of my signatures done before school started today.  I also usually stay until 4 o'clock to get my room cleaned up enough to leave it for the summer but I had it done and was gone by 2:30.  As much as I've gone through all of my end-of-year "stuff", it still doesn't feel like today was the last day, it feels more like the middle of March or April.  All of our testing is done, we've gone through all of our normal units and more, and yearbooks have been signed.  I almost feel like I will wake up in the morning and realize the last two and a half months have only been a dream (maybe bordering on nightmare) and I'll have to start over and do it all again.

To prepare for my summer, I have already started a list of things for me to accomplish, so far I have included:

1. paint wall in front bedroom/office
2. paint and "redecorate" front bathroom
3. finish getting gross adhesive off of front porch
4. finish reading my height in books
5. plan and give training on 6th grade math core
6. Play, play, play

I have already gone to the library and gotten six books for me to read over the next two weeks (the question is, which do I read first?), Home Depot has a sale on paint this weekend so I will be buying paint tomorrow, and I've already read 11 inches of books, only 45 more to go!  It's a good thing I already have some awesome friends who will help me out with the playing :)
