Sooooo close!

Tomorrow is my last day of class. THE last day. The LAST day. I cannot actually believe that it is almost here. I have this weird empty feeling where all this stress has been over the past 14 months.... like it's almost hard to NOT have something to think/worry/stress about. No more homework, no more papers, no more chapters or articles to read, no more books. What will I do with myself?? :)

I know that before I blink I will have a whole new ballgame at my new school with lessons to plan and papers to grade and many new worries and stresses for my kiddos... but I think (I hope) that I will be able to balance that all a little more and enjoy having a life again. Besides... teaching is now part of my life! :)

I'm putting it in my speech (my classmates elected me to speak at graduation)... but for those of you who can't be there Saturday to hear it... I've got to thank people that supported me this past year during this crazy process. It is almost insane to consider the work I have put into this program, and I couldn't have survived it without people to love me and cheer me on. So thanks! I love you!

You are going to be the bestest teacher EVER! I can't wait to hear about all of the awesome projects and lessons you plan for your class.

On a random note, Jim and I found a nest of baby bunnies in our backyard :o) Looks like there are about 5 of them. Rylee is super excited, but I told her that we have to leave them alone. I LOVE baby bunnies!!!

Polls, from MY school days....

"School's out,
school's out,
teacher let the fools out.
No more reading,
no more books,
no more teachers' dirty looks!"

Looking forward to being with you to honor you Saturday. Love you lots!
