Finally the end of the month is in sight!

What a month! College classes are out for the next week (who ever came up with the new schedule where we have a week between regular session and summer school.....it sucks!) but I am working on updating my syllabus for my summer course and then setting up my website for the 8 week session.
We renewed our foster care license this month which meant filling out paperwork, re-do finger prints, discovering that the state of Missouri lost our original file and now we have to provide all of those copies too......cleaning the house for the inspection, etc.
I am hoping for a break in June. I am working this June for the first time in 5 years. It is a huge adjustment to go from a 10 month contract to a 12 month contract. I dislike working in July more than June but it seems weird to not be preparing to shut down for several weeks and regroup.

Classes start today

Whew! It has been quite a busy couple of weeks!!! My grandmother passed away last week and we had lots of family in and out for many days. While it was not unexpected, we are recovering from the loss and trying to get laundry and housekeeping caught up.

College classes start today and I am busy trying to get all of my course info posted on the class websites. I am teaching a 16 week Health, Safety and Nutrition in Early Childhood course and an 8 week (I must be crazy!) Foundations of Early Childhood course. I had thought I had all of my material ready but my Health and Nutrition power points have disappeared! I am busy trying to recreate the presentations.......hopefully they will be much better.

A's 3rd birthday is Friday and we will be having a train party. We found a silcon cake pan similar to this one that I will be busy baking and decorating later this week. We will have a small family party on Friday evening.

And, if that's not enough, we have having an open house for our Uppercase Living business. The new book just came out and there are lot sof new designs and new colors.
