Way Behind...

It has been some time since I really caught up on blogging. Chris took the camera to the Spurs game last week and now I don't know where it is!?....soooo, thought I'd do a little journaling which I havn't done in forEVER! This week has been crazy, hectic (well, I guess you could say the past year has been that way!) It was finally the last week of school. It really started for us last weekend though--Memorial day weekend. We (thank GOD) had a three day weekend. My sister Kimber's boys were having their 4th and 2nd birthdays (respectively) so we headed to my parents house to hang out by the pool and enjoy cake and family time. It was FABULOUS! Kimber decided to have a smaller party with just family and then later a party with the boys friends. It was so relaxing and fun--I'm so thankful to have a family who enjoys each other's company and can be casual! My mom cooks the perfect meals and dad puts on music and plays with the kids. Ryan even put on a little "show" for us with the piano and old, beat up guitar my parents have in the den, singing every song she knows while playing the same one note on the piano and strumming the same notes on the guitar (for different songs of course). It was quite the trip!

So then it was back to school on Tuesday--the kids this week were NUTS! There were fights off campus during open campus lunch so we had to separate kids when they came back and have others taking finals in the office so they didn't carry it over into the school....it seemed like EVERYONE had some issue that needed to be resolved through the office (and that most of the culprits were in my part of the alphabet!) I was super worn out by Thursday evening, plus we had NO groceries due to being out of town over the weekend, so Chris took me out to Outback for dinner and a glass of much needed wine. Also, we scored playoff Spurs tickets on Tuesday night, so Chris and his good friend Mike drove to SA and back (got in at 2am!). We all saw how that game turned out, but at least Chris and Mike had a great time!

So finally, it was Friday--graduation! I got put on the worst duty ever--"the middle" which meant I was between the two groups of about 500 seniors. We were supposed to be sure to keep the kids in the proper rows--in reality, I was on "beach ball duty" snagging three balls from the groups of seniors. Even worse was the bouncy balls. You know those little balls you can buy from the $.25 machines? Well picture the seniors each with 1-5 of those balls--we tried to confiscate as many as we could beforehand, but not much we could do when hundreds of seniors all decided to bounce them among themselves towards the end of the graduation ceremony. Oh boy, and these kids are about to be on their own in college or running businesses? Heaven help us! No really, it was great to see the kids graduation who I taught 4 years ago as freshmen and those I met this year as an administrator. I'm so proud of them for working so hard to get where they are.

Ok, so then yesterday was one of my good friend, Erin's, end of the year party. The theme was "trailer trash bash" and it was awesome! Our friends Courtney and Rodney really stole the show, but Tiffany and her husband Noah were also very trashy! I wish I had pictures to post, but with us being "public figures" and all, they wouldn't have been to happy to have those on the internet!! It was great and the kids had a blast at Erin's--thanks for having us over!!

So summer school starts tomorrow, as does our new principal. I'm not worried about summer school at all (read: I'm very nervous about our new principal). We'll see how things turn out, as we have meetings starting first thing in the morning. Sorry for no pictures this post. Next time--or once I find the camera!! : )
