Summertime!!!

I was so looking forward to summer vacation and no substitute teaching! Seems that after the kids do their State testing they think school or learning is over and they can do as they please! I actually, for the first time, and hopefully the last, had a high school student tell me to "shut up" when I was trying to help him and then proceed to tell me I was stupid! didn't go over very well! He left with the other young man I had told the office to come pick up!

After that I decided I didn't need or want to work much until next school year. I did work about 6 days the last month and most were half days - much easier! But now it is July 18 and i feel bored! I wish it would be simple as I should be working when I choose in September, but it is more complicated of course1 i am finally seeing a Dr. who will determine the extent of workers' comp injury from breaking my wrist. The appointm3ent is July 27. Since my shoulder has been hurting and getting worse since April 2009 I just want a decision made so I can get it repaired! After this appointment either workers' comp will be responsible or I can go see my own ortho surgeon - I just want it fixed!

By the time it gets fixed I am afraid I won't be able to work for a while - I am sure of that!! Summer is great though1 We had our annual bar b que and making of Samores and then watching the fireworks from our backyard with the family. Kaitlyn graduated from Hemet High so we went to that and then to her party the next night. We added a new member to our family - Sugar - acute little puppy! She is Maltese/Yorkie and cute as can be! We will be really happy when she is completely house broken and uses her doggie door every time she needs to go! She is fun to watch play and she does love us and we love her too!

Not going on a vacation this summer since Wayne went to Canada in April and I went to Houston. The plan is to fly to Maryland and visit Danny and family in the Fall. We'll just have to wait and see what happens with my shoulder to finalize our plans!

Nikki and her 5 were just here for a few days and we had a good time with them and other family members just being a family and playing together! I especially enjoyed the mornings with my 3 year old granddaughter watching cartoons, reading to her and just talking. She is a sweetheart! The kids loved the puppy and she was running or being carried around all the time.

Oh! My son Mike and his wife Angela and their children were sealed for time and eternity i the San Diego Temple in June! That was a great experience. Wayne's cousin is the Matron and her husband, Bruce, is the President and he did the sealing. I am so proud of them for working hard to go and have this ordinance done. It was a lovely experience with only family and the Minors there. A little bit of Heaven on Earth. That is what this life is all about - preparing for eternity and being a forever family. Joy to the world1
