Can you tell I really have one thing on my mind right now?  Yes, it is all the stuff I have put off because I had school work to do and now… while I have stuff to do for school I don’t have the weight of “What standards do I still need to address?” “Did need to fill out this form today, or do I have a few more days before it is due?” or “How will I deal with (student name) tomorrow?” Now I have nothing pressing to do except all the stuff I neglected for 10 months so I could make sure my students at least had an opportunity to learn something.  Now I need to clean up and catch up on everything… Yes, Tink’s battery had died (she’s better now).  Today I’m starting with a bunch of garbage bags (The city gave me a trash can the size of my car and I plan to fill it) I will clean out my studio- something I needed to do months ago.  Then work on things around the house (like the basement- they gave me a trash can the size of my car…).  Is this my summer?  Should you feel sorry for me? No, I do have some wonderful trips planned for a few weeks this summer so expect to hear about them.  Like I try to tell my students- every decision has a consequence… you will have to deal with it some time- today consequences are calling- gentlemen (& ladies) start your engines!
