Excited for April

I really want April to come.  Then I want May to come...and end.  I know that I shouldn't say things like that, but honestly, I am ready for summer vacation.  I am ready for Endrit to walk (not graduate).  I am ready to figure out what Endrit and I are going to do once his PhD is finalized by August.  I know I should live in the now, but after the day I had today with the kids, I am wondering why I teach.  I am ready to move on.  I will revisit teaching later on in my life, but I am glad I have at least a year off for next year.  

Things really are going well.  Endrit is feverishly writing his thesis.  I am getting ready for end of term.  I am starting to teach geology!!  It is so exciting to be able to do this with the kiddos.  I love geology and I am excited to teach what I know to them.

I just wanted to write things out.  There really isn't anything I can update on.

The love of 3 day weekends

I absolutely love 3 day weekends.  It gives me time to relax and spend some quality time with the kitties.  Even Dexter turned into a little snuggle bug this weekend. 

Endrit had his annual chemistry dinner that spouses were not invited to this year because of budgets. He had to do a poster for it and he was excited to come home.  Now he is getting everything together to go to Chicago in a week.  He has another chemistry conference to go to.  I am super jealous because he will be in Chicago on St. Patrick's Day!  I would love to be there for that day.  But, I have to teach the whole week.  It is something I know I will need to get used to. 

I am getting excited to start teaching the geology portion of the curriculum.  There is a reason that I saved it for the end of the year.  I still have to finish physics, but it seems to be fun for the kids.  There are a lot of labs with physics.  I think we are going to be going outside sometime this week.  At least I hope so.  It all depends on the weather. 

Overall, everything is good in our house.  We are happy.
