It is gonna be a LONG summer!

OH MY! Summer is here. Has it only been a week since school has been out? The boy down the street is gonna cause me to up my blood pressure medicine, I do believe! Ever have an irritating person constantly coming to your house to visit? at times they are not invited? and just pretty much knock and weasel their way in? everyday, sometimes 2-3 times a day? and show up wherever you go? and I could go on and on and on. It is going to be a long, hot summer.

We just ate at my favorite mexican restaurant, YUM! We celebrated my brother's birthday. We had cake the other day on his actual birthday, but it was a hurry up between baseball games day and was very fast and noone was able to visit. He turned 35! Oh, to be 35 again. Happy Birthday Derrel!!!

My little sis is showing and looks so cute! I am so excited they are having a baby girl!! They are going to be terrific parents! They are coming along great on their new house. The paint looks so good, it is inspiring me to finish our house. I may actually start painting again tomorrow. It would be great to finish the living room and start on the kitchen and laundry room and hallway. I want to repaint the bathroom a different color too. I painted it a light blue color to go with the shabby chic shower curtain I had bought at Target, but I am really not a blue person. I want to put new tile on the floor in a tan color and a pedestal sink and new toilet. I have it all planned if only I had my "new" job. This is my summer project.

I guess if I don't get a job for the next year I will substitute in Baxter and Miami elementary schools and then maybe when some of the teachers retire from Baxter next year, hope and pray I can get a position there. I love Lincoln school! I miss my kids! They pay better in Kansas. I think they pay $70 a day for non-certified and in Miami they only pay $35-$40 a day. Since I will have my diploma I will make more than all of this so it will be worth it. Can you tell I am excited to teach?
