It's almost over...

I can't believe the school year is almost over. I read on Facebook that there is only 5 more MOndays. I checked--it's true. OMG. I'm not ready. I don't have the awards ordered or the diplomas either. I've got to get it in gear. I'm going to be putting in some extra hours I think.

Baseball is in full swing. This week we start the Chatham league on Wednesdays. Plus we have double headers on Friday and Saturday.

Today the kids and I were off--I've been sitting around thinking about some of the stuff I want to get done this summer. I need to get the ideas down somewhere so I guess here is as good as anywhere--at least I will be able to find it when I go to get started. Ha.
