drip drip splash...


it's raining, it's pouring, the old man is snoring... i love it when it rains, especially at home when i can sit on the porch with mr. lovely and 'stinky'... although, when it rains at school...the classroom darkens and the kids get spooked. ha:) pic by rachael...

i can smell the summer...

it's just around the corner and i can't stand it. this school year seems to have flown by in a wink and now i'm ready for summer. why do these last three weeks have to seem longer than the last three years! the kids are getting restless and i am right there with them. the excitement that summer vacation is so close is too much to bear. yesterday we took the kids to sea world for a field trip. half of our students hadn't been so of course they had a blast. we all did. unfortunately, the kiddos couldn't get on any of the rides but that didn't stop us responsible teachers from getting our hands stamped on the way out and heading back to ride the rides after the kids were dropped off at school! i haven't ridden a rollercoaster in a while and the effects finally hit my lovely aging self on the fifth turn! QUEASY! in one more week, i visit my lovely friend melissa in the land of the rich and famous, la. i wish my lovely partner in crime could make the trip with me, but still, i cannot wait to see my wonderful friend who i've known since middle school orchestra... oh, and venice, i'm coming back sweety!
