Countdown to summer!

Alright, I know what most of you are thinking...its June 28th, isn't it already summer?! Technically yes. But for me, no. I've been teaching at and ESL camp for the last 3, almost 4 weeks and we finally have 3 days left, yay!! Its been a good experience for me and the money was just too good to pass up. But I'm definitely ready to sleep in and stay in my pjs until noon if I want :-)

Believe it or not, I miss my kids. I think I miss them more this summer than I did last. I just had such a great class this year. Of course, I did have alot of children that had a lot of issues and I did have my fair share of "crap" to deal with this year, but I miss them. Its almost like they really do become a part of me, or at least a part of my life and I just feel better when I get to see them everyday. When they're with me I know they are safe, well fed, loved, happy, and hugged on but when they're not with me I don't know what they're going through and if they're safe, etc. One of the little boys who was in my class is attending a different summer camp in our building and i've seen him alot. Whenever he sees me walking down the hallway he blows me kisses. Its seriosuly the sweetest thing ever.

In the meantime, its a busy week trying to finish up summer school, finishing taking things down in my classroom and get ready to be gone for a few weeks. I'm going to a friends wedding in Mexico and then go straight to Belize to meet up with the group from Highland. This will be my 8th trip to Belize, and i'm so excited. I get to go this year with my dad and my best friend, Bethany! So even though summer is almost here, I guess i'll have to wait a little longer for the whole sleeping late thing!
