WOOHOO, I'm free

Yay - today was my last day at work for the summer break (I work in a school****il I go back for a couple of days in late August then off til September. Boy, I'm free - it's been manic for a couple of months. I worked way more days than I should have, just to get through the work. But now I can concentrate on Summer (even though it's raining and has been for days ). We've bought ourselves a tent off ebay (got a great deal) and plan to have some fun camping. I finally persuaded hubbie to give it a try. I grew up camping and loved it as a child. What are you all doing for the Summer - I know some of you have already been on vacation, any other plans? When do the children go back to school - it's much earlier than here.

Hurray for Ruth! That sounds like sooooo much fun to go camping! Do you have someplace picked out that you can go? I bet Millie will love it! We are going to a place called Wallowa Lake next month. We are renting a house to share with my husband's parents and sister and her family. They have all sorts of things to do there like horseback riding ... which last time I couldn't do because I exceeded the weight limit. But I am doing it this time! My kids have swimming lessons starting in a couple weeks. And my daughter is doing "Camp Paw Paw" which is at the Humane Society and they basically get to play with animals all week! That's about all I have planned. Our school starts back up the first week in September. My daughter is already counting the days .... she is a little nerd! Deanna

Deanna, that sounds like so much fun, isn't nice to "not exceeded the weight limit"... I still get in a cold sweat weighting for someone to say something to me (about being too big)

Hi Ruth! Good for you for being off for the summer! I also work at the school here. I have been off since the 7th of June and we go back the 27th of next month,the summer just flew by!! We had to make up days here because we went over the state 3 days allowable days because of snow/fog... So I go back for 1 day for a meeting the 23rd and then its back to work I do ALLOT of babysitting my grandkids at summertime. We did go to Cedar Point on Sunday and walked all day and could even FIT into the rides! Sure felt good! Was alittle sore on Monday, but made it through!

sounds like fun, we have been off, since the end of May and my son goes back the end of August

How nice and oh I'm so jealous!! LOL I love camping. I just went for the first time "tent camping" over Memorial Day weekend and we had a blast! I'm sure you will too.
