The only part of that I don't agree with is the wine...no drinking for me. But otherwise...this meme nailed it! The month of May leaves teachers feeling turned upside down. I have no idea what to think yet of summer. I'm trying to wrap my head around the idea of "summer vibes" even if that's simply by the power of persuasion.
I love almost everything about summer vacation, but it just takes me a little bit of recovery time from the month I call "Mayhem."
We always start each May the same way...Lorelei's birthday! Hard to believe she's 15! Savannah came home just for her birthday.
Being a Tuesday we opted for a family dinner out. It was great to have everyone there.
She got lots of sibling love.
Teacher appreciation week is always the same week. I received tons of goodies from students, parents and even a special present from my homeroom class from last year.
My homeroom from last year had a special student deliver this beautiful gift one morning before school started. Made me cry of course.
John turned 52. He was thrilled with something as simple as a new blanket for his favorite chair.
To wrap up the already busy week, we had a Mother's Day brunch made mostly by me, at my mom's. It was sweet and simple.
May was filled with soooo many school events.
STAAR...(State testing in Texas)
Sea World field trip...
Fine arts night...
Many retirement festivities for Sandy, my teammate.
Another field trip to the middle school...
Lunch with Nana and Savannah amidst all the craziness.
And of course, the big Promotion Ceremony that I stress out about the entire month of May!!
Of course, when it all comes to an end, the anxiety goes away, but a whole new level of exhaustion kicks in.
That was just what I did for school. Let's not forget all the shenanigans at home with my own bunch.
Lorelei had a belated sleepover with her friends for her birthday. Where do teen girls want to go these days? Target of course!
Lorelei had her six-month check-up from her surgery and was released to return to ALL activities including diving! Hooray!
And roller skating!
Gym visits are going strong. Jonas and I are regulars, but sometimes we get a few others to join us.
HEB trips now almost always include a Flaming Bird bowl. If you haven't tried it yet, it's affordable and a tasty favorite!
This view happens A LOT! Me tired, driving a kid somewhere.
They don't call me Ubermom for nothing!
But filling up my Ubermom mobile is killing me these days! Yikes!
Finally...June is beginning to bring signs of summer.
T.V. time...
Lunches out...
My favorite summer breakfast...tomato toast!
Lazy days...
Morning visits for breakfast!
The return of our two favorite activities.
Pool time...
And Sonic trips!
I think I'm finally ready to say:
