Vacation Fauf

FINALLY! Today was the last day of school until '08. Michael has been on vacation since last Friday. And I have had to get out of bed the past few mornings while he got to stay in our cozy bed. Then I had to go to school, one day which turned out to be a RAINY day. What are the odds? But enough complaining. I must say I had a delightful last day with those little munchkins. And I enjoyed seeing their shocked faces when I told them, "I'll see you next year!" That blew their minds. When I saw that they were not recovering from their shock, I quickly assured them that next year wasn't that long away! I think they left feeling a bit insecure that they wouldn't see their adoring teacher for a very long time. I'm sure by Christmas day they will have forgotten all about me. That's okay...I've almost nearly forgotten them. (just kidding...I think this class I might actually miss.)

So here I stand on the brink of my two-week vacation. I am excited, but at this point I'm really just wanting to get some rest. That will have to wait...tomorrow we head for the homeland and the Drazin homestead, where rest only comes in the dead of night. And even then it might be hard to get when you're sleeping on a mattress in the little brother's bedroom. (He's being kicked out to the livingroom for the time we're there.) Despite it all, the Christmas season is upon us, so let's pop another Hershey mint KISS, tie another bow, and count those presents one more time!
