Tomorrow (today) is our last day of school for the 09/10 school year! Let me tell you, I am soooo glad. I have a little surprise for them, and have been hinting as to a 'teachers' gift....lol I have yet to receive an end of the year gift. I did get a Christmas gift 2 yrs back, that I bought myself ;)
The jitter part comes into play because there will be things left undone, books left unfinished, and I'm sure teaching opportunities not taken. And I begin to wonder, did we have a 'good' year? Was it 'just another year'? And the big question, did they learn anything??? I sure hope they did!
As the school year winds down, and summer begins, I will sit back and try not to worry about this 'past' year and whether or not they might have learnt something, what I will try to do is push forward and be thankful we have the year ahead to 'make up' for anything we may have missed.
What are your summer plans? We have none really.....

She must have purchased it that way!?!
I had a bad thing happen to me yesterday...in my 16, no, scratch that in my 17 yrs of driving I had my first middle finger given to me, and for no reason what so ever really. But what happened after she passed me is what makes me so sick, and upset...well, the finger too has me all worked up, don't get me wrong. I cried...ya, I know, strange, but I cried for so many reasons. I'll tell the story now. If your familiar with Regina, you will understand the street names, but I will try to explain in other ways too. So, here I am parked on Victoria Ave facing east, about to turn onto Ring Road, a highway that goes around the city and can take you from south to north in 10-15 mins. Anyways, I know that once I turn onto ring road I will have to skoot over three lanes to get into the far left lane because there is construction up ahead a few meters and the right lane is blocked. So, like everyone else in front of me, we signal over to the left, well this speedy mini van behind me, driven by a woman, I guess beat me to the lane, even though I was ahead of her, and signaling to get into that lane and watching in my mirror for other highway traffic. Well I hear the horn and look to find her holding up the famous 'f' finger and holding it there to make sure I seen it. I was sick to my stomach.....shocked she would do that even though we all were heading into that lane. After we passed through the construction, I quickly moved over to the right lane to let her pass and cranked up Hawk Nelson, and was even more shocked when she passed she has the christian fish symbol with the word Jesus in the middle. My mouth dropped and stayed that way till I was nearly at Wascana parkway (a couple blocks from home). Then I started thinking about it more, how shocked I was and that someone actually "gave me the finger". I started crying. I got home and told my hubby, and he made me feel better...then I though, she must have purchased the vehicle with that on it. I hope. Then I went to church to pick up my daughter and prayed for that women all the way there.
