			Yet another first yesterday as this year of years comes to an end.... 
		
		
		
		
		
		
			6 th grade is performing at PTSA tonight. I had an after school rehearsal until 5:15.....at 6:15 I'm sitting here with one student. No contact numbers worked....at 7:30 I had to call the police. I don't take children home....the officer asked the same questions I had...answers changed and were vague....he took the child home....it was quite upsetting seeing this nice student riding in the back of a patrol car... Even if the parents signals got crossed....don't ya think maybe around 7:00 or so you'd miss your child's presence???? I am sad for this child... SMH!!!!!!

			Wow! BK you are almost done! I am so glad to hear you sounding positive about next school year. This year has been one you fought for. Congratulations!  
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	I do hope things worked out for the nice boy who needed to be taken home.  |

			It's official.... I will be the Co- Conductor of our counties Honor Orchestra for the 2013-2014 school year...I'm looking forward to it in many ways.  I will be with motivated-above average students (at least musically), for once-not building my résumé (doing it for my satisfaction), and I will/can learn from an outstanding fellow educator.  
		
		
		
		
		
		
			The other conductor happens to be an ex of 11 yrs - a story in itself. It took me over 10 years to be in the same room with her without being nauseous. We broke up when she decided she was no longer a lesbian. Now we are great friends and mutual supporters. We feed off each other in an unique way....we agree on acceptable musicianship, quality, etc. We will make this group rock! Nonetheless- extra work , extra hours, but a most welcome distraction from the daily grind. 5 more - Lord willing, I can do this!....

			Love the countdown ..... although I have until July 3rd to wait for my last day of school.  A little bit different here.  However, I don't start back with students until August 27th.  Anyhow, for those who are soon to start their summer break, ENJOY, ENJOY, ENJOY!

			A friend and I have just instituted MONDAY happy hour as a "thing."  It makes Monday that much less sucky as the year winds down and the kids lose their minds almost as much as we do.

			Well - it's here! The last 1/2 day with students....seeing my 8th graders yesterday in our last regular classroom setting - I got pretty choked up telling them goodbye, best wishes in HS, etc. I don't usually get all choked up but, this has been such a rough year, I depended on them for survival more than they will ever know....but I think they really got to see that I do love them- I do care about them - even though I push them very hard to do their best! Three yrs together - you bond as no other class can.  
		
		
		
		
		
		
			Having said that.... The year ends as it started....What is my schedule today? I have no idea....I do know I can wear jeans and must have grades posted by 2:30. Then - a bunch of us are meeting for food and adult beverages.... 3 1/2 post planning, 2 days of leadership institute and the summer is mine!!!!!! YES!!!!!! Now - vacation plans - either a cruise or a week in Sanibel.. Who's game?????

 Congrats on surviving and thriving BK! I am a little jealous of you having the moment of verklempt chokinguppedness - I haven't had that since 2009 when I left the school I loved to move and cried like a big baby while hugging my old principal. Good news is that one of my former students and her mom are planning to come visit me in Key West the weekend after school is out! And I am voting for Sanibel --- generally they don't lose power and end up floating in the middle of the ocean for days waiting for Coast Guard rescue
