School is OVER! Hooray!
I am so excited and relieved to say that the school year is officially over! YIPPEE!
My last day with kids was yesterday, but I had to pack up my entire classroom because our school is being remodeled over the summer. So everything, and I do mean EVERYTHING, had to be packed into the 2 cabinets in our classroom or the 30 boxes the moving company provided to each teacher.
I stayed last night after school until 10:30pm to get started on the packing. Frank brought me dinner, helped me pack a little, headed back to the store to close up, and came back to help a little more. This morning, I started at 8am and worked until around 4pm (with a few breaks in between of course) until Frank was finished with the store and joined me in the last of the packing.
In all, we emptied all the book shelves, my desk, the top two drawers of my file cabinet (a must according to the moving company)…the list goes on. I can’t even say how much stuff went into the trash or into recycling. One positive of having to pack was going through everything and getting rid of stuff I didn’t need.
In all, we packed 24 boxes, going through almost three rolls of tape! We finally finished at around 7pm.
So now I can relax…until Monday. That’s when summer school starts. Ugh. Note to all: Don’t start a business in the same year you’re getting married! Life just gets too crazy!
