Monday, 5/31

Well, the school year is almost over! Thank goodness, I need the summer to "de-tox" and get my head straight. I'm teaching summer school but it's just half days with smaller groups so I'm not worried.

I'm still stressing over Olivia's birthday party. I don't know what to do! I would like it to be "perfect" :) I've played with a few ideas:

1. Fiesta- pinatas, fajitas, mmmm tortillas

2. Backyard BBQ- ribs, pasta salad, watermelon

3. Luau- just for the decor, I don't think I want to roast a pig in the ground in the backyard :)

The backyard BBQ would be the easiest to pull off with minimal decoration. I'm looking for easy yet fun!

More to come later!

Wow! It's been nearly 6 months!

I haven't had time, energy, etc. to blog lately. I forget my name some days.

Summer vacation is 7 days away (technically 10 days, but field day is Friday, Monday is Memorial Day and I am not counting the last day of school)! I am however teaching summer school this year. The pros: I'll be teaching first graders at a different school... and the extra money is awesome! The cons: I have to wait 16 additional days to my summer vacay... Oh well, I'll have to make the most of the time I get.

Olivia's first birthday is fast approaching. I think we'll be going with a BBQ theme. Something simple and not over the top.
