It was over 95 here in NY today and I spent my morning finding as many air conditioned spaces as possible. It made me wonder what people did before AC...because today was tough. The hallways and classrooms were miserable as were the kids who came to school. I predict that we'll have fewer kids tomorrow, because who wouldn't choose to stay home when it's supposed to be over 100?? It was nice that we gave the kids who were there ice pops that were left from an celebration earlier this month. Our district was changing moving up and graduation ceremony times and locations to help keep everyone comfortable. No one wants to be passing out in the hot sun in those polyester hats and robes!
Tomorrow, more heat, last day with kids and some new car shopping...just have to find something comfortable to wear for all of that!

Almost there...
This was the start of my Friday afternoon. A beautiful Stoli O and soda. It's summer in a class. Light, refreshing and it definitely signals that I'm outside of a school building! I have my cousin Jessica for starting me on these when I visited her in Florida a few years back, they are my go-to cocktail.
Only 5 days left and I can't wait to be done. Between teaching, internship, deployment, blah, blah, blah, I want vacation to arrive!

Last Full Day
As the school year is coming to a close I know that it means that deployment should be over soon, too. This is coming with a host of emotions. I'm excited, obviously, but also a little nervous. It will be an interesting adjustment as we get used to living together again. Is he going to like the little changes I've made around the house? Are we going to get on each others nerves and bicker constantly? What are we going to do next?
We were married for 3 months when he left. A year later we have talked often and in some ways gotten to know each other better. We have worked on the friendship parts of our marriage because so much of the rest has been on the back burner. I can't wait to have my best friend home again! I want those lazy weekend mornings, lunches out and home cooked dinners together.
