It really is summer now!

Since I finally got healthy I have been substitute teaching way too much! The $ is good but I do get tired by the end of the day! I am so lucky that when I get home my husband says what time do you want to eat? And it's ready at whatever time I choose! Some days I get home and sit because my right knee hurts so badly I can barely walk due to the pressure on it. So, next week is the last week of school and in the past I have actually been called to sub during the last week. This year yesterday was my last day - period! I need the whole summer to rest and exercise to lose another 20 pounds. I am turning in my two pages of time sheets this Monday - just in case I get a call and feel tempted to do it!

Yesterday I was at Dartmouth Middle School - the school I retired from. As I went out the office door to go to my classroom I heard a little red-head yelling grandma, grandma! She came running over and just hugged me good! I loved it! We talked for a few minutes and as I walked away I heard all her friends saying 'Is that your Grandma?" It was Janalee's daughter, Jessica. Gary's daughter Kelbie is in 8th grade there and I have actually done her class before but i did not see her the past two days while there. That is okay though because she just talked to me on Facebook and when school gets out I am taking her to lunch for some fun time. I feel so blessed in my life to have such wonderful children and grandchildren - they all make the pains and sorrows of life well worth it! Love you family!
