Summer Time

Let me start by stating the obvious. Summer is GREAT.

This is the first summer "off" that I've had in the last four years. When I was the technology facilitator, I worked year round. So this summer I have not had to work all summer. Instead I have:

1. Taken (or in the process of taking) 12 summer school hours (two for two on A's so far...)

2. Watched my son eschew crawling and begin walking at 11 and 1/2 months.

3. Watched Jill continue to juggle a home, two jobs and raising two boys (all while being pregnant).

4. Managed to sneak away to Lubbock for a few days of rest and relaxation that made me much more tired than when I left to go there.

5. Got to spend some quality time with nieces and nephews that are growing up WAY too fast.

6. Got to play some golf with my brother. We aren't any good but we sure have a good time.

7. Got to eat most of my favorites that my mom cooked for me. Added a new favorite, my sisters homemade salsa...TASTY!

8. Jill and I will go to Arlington Friday to watch my beloved Rangers (I'm still in Maverick induced shock and withdrawal). The Ballpark in Arlington (I refuse to all it Ameriquest Field, no matter how much they paid for the naming rights) is my all time favorite sporting venue. We are celebrating Jill's passing her LPC test and my survival of my first full year of campus administration.

9. Trying to get plans set for my brother's family and my sister's brood to trek south and stay with us a while. Hopefully we can all survive...

Looks like I may have to go back to work to get some rest.....
