Yesterday was my last day of school. I officially made it through my first year! It is quite different to be on the teacher side of things at the end of the year than it was being a student. Instead of finals, I had to worry about finishing up reports, updating files, tranferring paperwork, and finding somewhere to store all my therapy materials (most of which came home with me...). We had a luncheon yesterday, which was nice. The year went fast-I could hardly believe it was May and time to be done!

So far, here is what our summer is looking like:

1. Monday, we run the Bolder Boulder 10K. It is our first race since the Corporate Cup in Omaha in September 2004. We have been training just about a month now and we are up to 4 miles. But it always seems easier to run 6 miles when there are 10,000 (or, 50,000 as will be the case Monday) people running with you.
2. My friend Laura is getting married in June in Omaha.
3. We are going to travel down to Albuquerque so Lucas can show me where he spent his formative years.
4. There will be some hiking, maybe some camping, a bit of white water rafting, and some entertaining thrown in there. Lucas' family is coming to visit in July. If any of you are planning to be in Colorado this summer, let us know!

Simpsons neologism of the day for Thursday, May 25, 2006:
Bumbled Bee

Burns: Stop that, you wantwit! I might get stung by a bumbled bee!

"Wantwit" is a pretty good one, too.

It's probably the geekiest day ever, but it's still pretty awesome.

So during a conversation with my brother tonight, I realized that my mom's most troublesome 3 year old class that she ever had is going to be in third grade at church starting on June 11th. Wow. There is one student that I am really looking forward, who is probably going to be the most difficult. Here is the one story that will always remind me of her.

One sunday when this girl I am refering to was three and in my moms class determined that she needed to do something. What was this something? Well it was take a bath. While my mother was distracted, I must tell you she was not the only challenging student, she proceeded to disrobe completely in the middle of the class. My mom, realizing that this is a difficult situation, realized that she need to get clothes back on this child. My mom does not know why she is naked, so she asks. The child screams "I HAVE TO TAKE A BATH!!!!!" She was completely inconsolable, and this is the child that will be joining me this summer in my class. Hooray.
