Today was the last full day of school...and the last day for two of my kids. It was nice, we played some games and had a party. It's nice to be able to just hang out with them instead of having to teach. :) Its been an hour since school ended for the day and I have everything off my walls and bulletin boards...tomorrow consists of cleaning out desks and moving our classroom to the other side of the building to a smaller room so grades with more people can have the space that this room offers. It's a bit sad. It's all coming to an end and I won't be here next year to set up and debate about what colors to put on the bulletin boards or to make all these signs. But I know something different lies around the corner...I'm just not sure what yet. I feel numb right now...its like I want to sit and mourn...but I know that there are good times to be had yet in the next few days I have left here...so I won't let myself. I feel overwhelmed with all there is to process. Last night I packed...I think tomorrow night I will have to repack. :) It's amazing how much you can fit into one suitcase and still be under the weight limit!!

Anyhow...ready or not...in 6 days I will be home. Wow.
