Where has summer gone?

I was just talking to ateacher friend of mine the other day. We did the math. 2 1/2 more weeks until work starts. Where has this summer gone??? I guess I know. I taught summer school, Chip took summer school, and now he's busy getting in some intern hours up at AMS. I'm being transferred from history to gifted (Viva Drama). Very exciting, but now I have to move all of my stuff. I kept a lot of my kids' projects because I wanted to show any future classes what I want when we repeat projects and things. Now that I'm not teaching history next year (or for a while, hopefully) I'm weeding out what I should take with me and what's garbage now. Some things I'm willing over to future teachers and those who have been there, and a lot I'm taking with me in case I ever teach history again (which is quite possible). I think Chip and Jo spent an hour with me in my classroom yesterday. I just organized what I wanted to take out to the Viva building, but haven't actually moved anything yet. It wouldn't be so bad moving if my classroom were down the hall or downstairs or in the next building, but my new classroom is out near the football field (past the gym and across the gravel parking lot...). Moving will keep me busy for the next few weeks.

We're about to go on vacation to the beach. I'm really excited about going on vacation, but I'm also terrified about how the baby's going to travel. Really, her longest trip so far has been to Tupelo. We're traveling down to Meridian first and staying the night, then going to the beach. From Meridian, it's about a 4 hour drive. Hopefully she won't notice...

On a really positive note, Jo's been sleeping in her crib for the past 2 nights. I just got her down for her nap in her crib a few minutes ago. Because she's had such a bad time with acid reflux, she's been sleeping in her bouncer since she was about 2 weeks old. Now that she's on medicine that helps control it, she's doing much better and we're able to put her flat to sleep.

I'll post some pictures I've taken since we've been back in town, but I have to go get the camera and load them onto the computer first!
