• Could the rollercoaster really be slowing down?

  If it is, I’m assuming it’s just preparation for another huge drop, or loop, or something crazy. This is my life we’re talking about, after all.
  
  Summer is officially here. I worked a few days last week and will be working a couple this week on scheduling, but the truth is I’m glad to not be completely finished at school yet. As silly as it sounds, thoughts of school and my students (my babies) are continually on my heart and mind. I cried through a video yesterday at church in which a teacher said she stood in front of her class on the first day each year and told her students, “I’ve been thinking about you all summer.” That is so me.
  
  The house is quiet at the moment, with everyone sleeping in. Of course Steve has been at work for a couple of hours already. It’s 8:35am, the time when we would be getting pretty close to arriving at school, so my internal clock isn’t wanting to let me sleep. I was up probably ten times during the night checking on Trevor. He’s been sick for a couple of days and I do not like it when my babies are sick.

  It’s weird feeling like I can actually take time to relax and breathe for a moment without 18 things piling on top of me needing to be done right at that moment. Of course there is plenty that needs to be done around the house, like serious housecleaning and purging stuff we don’t need in preparation for moving in Sept. I don’t even want to think about moving. Seriously, it makes me feel sick. And not even because I don’t want to leave this area, really; it’s more that I just don’t want to think about how grueling moving (even locally) can be. I’m actually looking forward to living closer to school and to Rosie getting into a new dance studio.

  I guess that’s enough for this time.
