How Many More Days of School Do We Have?????

Oh my gosh! I know I should not be complaining, because many of you work year round but.......I am going to anyways, so bear with me......I am SOOOOOO ready for school to end! I have been doing nothing even resembling speech therapy for the last two weeks and it appears that this week and next week will be more of the same....EOG testing last week, 2 days of field day this week( Tuesday and Thursday), and tomorrow I will be re-doing EOGs for those kids who were absent last week...I think I will get to do a little speech Friday morning, but only for 1/2 a day because I have a doctor's appointment that afternoon.....Then next week, I will be doing retesting on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday for the poor little chaps who did not pass the test the first time around. Sorry to say this, but there are some kids who can take the test 20000 times and still not score proficient, but of course it is not politically correct to say that..you know, No Child Should Be Left Behind! But, next Thursday is the last day of school, so there is a small dim light at the end of the very dark and long tunnel. Ok, I am done venting! And man, do I feel better!
Other than all my complaining, not too much has been going on around here...Cedric went fishing for the first time Saturday night with my brother Zach and Lucy's boyfriend Martin...they didn't catch a thing (besides a good buzz) and Zach was the only one to get a bite....when I saw the hook on Cedric's new pole, I began to understand...the hook was big enough to catch a shark (last time I checked, there were none of these in Lake Norman, but who knows)....It was a "guy's only" event, so Lucy and I were not allowed..we spent an exciting evening watching a hilarious Lifetime movie on binge drinking and then snoozed with Rocky in the living room....note to everyone, I think me and my friend's were "binge drinkers" in college, does that surprise any of you???? Right now though, it is no drinks for me, which has been ok so far....talk to me again during UNC football season, I am sure I will be desperate for a good cold beer by then...Plus I am off caffeine, and for those of you who know me well, you know I love my coffee and diet drinks....so needless to say, I have been dragging....and neglecting my BLOG. I am going to try to do better! I promise! Have a great week, only 6 1/2 more days of school with kids--- I think I might be able to make it!!!!!!
