Holy shit Batman--it's been too long....

Wow, I can't even remember the last time I wrote on this blog.  Sad, but true.  So here are a few random things from my life right now to catch me up....

  • It's the end of another school year....my baby boy will be a senior next year and Kate will be leaving to go down to Carbondale as a junior.  Feeling my age right now.
  • Eric was back this year--his first as high school principal.  It was a lovely year for me....not as much drinking because he keeps me relatively calm....but a rough one for the staff since they were used to no guidance whatsoever and didn't adjust well to change.
  • New building is coming along nicely.  We moved out of our office the last day of finals (5/20/15) and into the guidance office for the summer.  New classrooms and office will be done mid-August--cross your fingers.
  • One Little word for this year is Calm.....still struggling with it as anyone who knows me well knows that I am always wound up about something.
  • Our oldest nephew,Jacob, was married this month, and his sister Meghan graduated from High School.
  • Zach's basketball coach retired and they are on the hunt for a new one--I'm more than excited to find out who it will be.
  • Zach has his first job this summer--helping the school district clean out the schools--moving boxes and furniture and whatever else they might need.  It's hard work.  7-3 every day.....He has to be up--haha.
  • I'm done with work on June 4.....summer will be a long one.  Since the school is not getting turned over to us until about when we normally do registration we are postponing starting school until the day after Labor Day....September 8.  It will be a shock to all our systems....but make for a really long summer.  (My to do list awaits)
  • We have 3 more weddings this summer and 2 basketball shoot outs.  Doug is taking the kids and some friends to Cedar Point sometime in July....and I am going to stay at home---ALL BY MYSELF! My kind of vacation.
  • Salli and Scott are building a house here in Macon.  They will be moved in before school starts. 
  • The whole lower level of our house has been repainted a color called "Stonington"--a nice beige.  It's beginning to come together nicely.  It really lightened and brightened everything up.  We changed out curtains and bought a few new pieces.  I'm very happy with it.
