I'm dreaming of...

As I sit and listen to my colleagues plan their vacations (and some of them have more then one) I find myself skimming the travel websites. Five years ago I could have told you exactly where I wanted to travel. Today I don't care where I go as long as it involves an airplane and a different continent. Of course the total cost of the trip would have to be about $2.50. Unlikely I know.

I have to remind myself what I have chosen instead of travelling... a career, house, husband, daughter... And if we are really honest I don't want to take Tesla on a plane. Could you imagine an almost 2 year old trying to sit still, in one spot for the many hours of flight I long for? In addition, Karl won't get holiday time until November. If I take another teaching job in the fall we will just skip the holiday this year. I better stop looking at the travel websites.

PS. Apparently you can go to Cancun with Atlas Travel for $95 plus tax. Of course you won't have anywhere to stay once you get there.

PPS. DDW - Do you really want a graph? I could make one.

Day 2

It's like a new toy. I've checked my blog twice today... just to look.

I also showed off a picture of my daughter at work in an obnoxious fashion. I made sure everyone saw her. Comments were welcome.

I've marked 50 exams, had 3 phone calls, finalized my grade 11's marks, debated how to mark specific questions, set up an exam and reset 20 calculators. It has been a very boring day. On the other hand if I was teaching in a Jr. High I would have spent the day chasing grade 7's around, who know that summer is on its way and marks have already been finalized. High school is much better! Tomorrow I'll bring a book.

Hockey Widow

Tonight I am a hockey widow. The Stanley Cup playoffs are on... so I was looking at my friends blogs and thought maybe I should have one. Here we are...

It's exam time. I am so proud of my grade 11 class. They did great on their final exams! Tomorrow, my grade 10's write their final. Hopefully they will do as well.

My goals for this summer include: potty training my daughter, reading lots of books, visiting with friends, spending time with my family (not necessarily in that order) . We took this picture of her a couple of months ago. She is more interested in the fact that it flushes then what could be flushed. Our work is cut out.

We went camping with our small group this last weekend. It was a lot of fun.



The picture of Karl and Tesla was taken on Sunday morning.

Tesla was getting a little tired of me taking her picture by the end of the morning.
