Today was my last day of work! It feels soooo good knowing I don't have to wake up early ANY more until late August!!!My students were really cute today.. We started the day off with the traditional "Staff vs. Students" softball game! It was sooo much fun.. I even attempted to play in my usual footwear....Flipflops..oops! I did hit the ball, but let me say Base/Softball is NOT my sport! After the game we just spent time in class... pretty much free time.. When the bell rang for the last time, a few of my Tough Six Grade Boys came up to me and said "I'm really going to miss you Mrs. Lee" and gave me a big hug.. of course I cried... On one end I'm extremely excited about being on vacation, but on the other end I'm going to miss this group of kids!
After was our luncheon: eat, talk, laugh, cry! The usual end of the year luncheon program.. It was announced that one of our staff members is Pregnant! How exciting! I always feel kind of sad cause it always seems like I'm the last to find these things out... Oh well! I should be use to it by now... it's just like High School at work. You got your In Crowd, the Loners, and the In Between Peeps... I've always been the In Between Crowd (not too popular, not completely a nerd)..ha ha... you are who you are!
As I was doing my final packing, I remembered I had a couple of gifts to open! One of my parents.. who loved challenging me for the past two years.. brought a gift to me. She said one is from the students and one is from all the parents. The students gave me white gold hoop earrings..WOW! and the parents gave me a card saying "We're sending you to VEGAS!" Can you believe that... they raised money and bought me a one night stay in Las Vegas.. apparently she had called my hubby and put him on a mission on what I would like.. I didn't even connect why Ben had been asking me what I'd like right now.. I kept saying new flip flops and he would get mad.. saying something a little nicer.. and that's when I said new earrings or a get away! I guess even when someone seems to be giving you a hard time, they do respect you! Vegas here we come!
Today also marked the First Day of Swim Class!!! Just getting there was challenging.... but we made it on time! The class is for a 1/2 hour and well...it didn't go that well today! Alyssa was okay... she just had a straight face and hung on for dear life! This year Dominic is in the Tiny Tots class, which means no Parents! He cried for the whole 1/2 hour! The instructors were actually amazing! I asked if he would be kicked out cause of the crying and they said not to worry about it... he's fine! Their patience really surprised me... I just wanted to go grab him, but stopped myself because I knew it would only set him back. He needs to learn to relax without holding on to mommy.. His little buddy Lance did much better! He only cried a tiny bit and I think it was because Dom was scaring him! Hopefully he'll adjust.............SOON!
More Swim class updates to come!
