Today marked 8 instructional days until summer vacation. Tomorrow leaves 7. Needless to say, I’m excited.
Over the moon would not be an exaggeration, (although my students would happily tell you that this is both an idiom and a hyperbole!).
It has been a long, hard “first” year. I am ready for mid-week teacher pool parties (yes, these really exist), Saturday night concerts in East Sac, a Pacific Northwest road trip, plenty of time to work on my book, plenty of time to read other people’s books, and a week in Kauai.
Maybe I’m a little over ambitious. Regardless, I am determined to make every last second of it count. Bring on 7 weeks of bliss, I’m ready.
I leave you with my summer anthem. It truly stays stuck in my head for weeks:

I absolutely love reading anything and everything you write, and constantly find myself having a deep connection with your thoughts! Love you Liv.
Ooooh! Maybe we can find time to get together this summer!
Yes please! I still haven’t met your fabulous kids!
