Another birthday and my last week of freedom

I obviously wasn't too interested in blogging this week, much less doing anything productive. I officially start work next week (three teacher days, Mon. through Wed.) and I just wanted to be as lazy as possible before things get hectic again. I honestly don't understand how people with "normal" jobs do it...I love that there's always an end in sight with the conclusion of one school year and then a fresh start in the Fall. Nothing beats two solid months of being able to get up after the sun comes up!

I celebrated my 31st birthday on Monday. Anyone who knows me well knows that I have always loved my birthday! I think it's mostly because it's the one day of the year that I don't let myself feel at all guilty for doing whatever I want (being lazy, for instance). I had a nice day with Anne and LOVED that she could sing "Happy Birthday to Mama" this year! I even videotaped her singing it!!! Mom and Dad came over for cake & ice cream and Anne enjoyed cooking play-doh muffins and hot-dogs with Grammy. Dada had to do the official taste-testing, of course!
