So today was the last day of teaching summer school. It's been quite an eventful undertaking for me. It was a test of my fortitude most definitely. Teaching 9+ hours every day with only 30 minutes for lunch has proved to be difficult. One of my friends told me how teaching is different from other jobs because it expends your intellect, emotions, etc. This is so true. When you are teaching, you always have to be "on". This coupled with the fact that I was trying to continually come up with exciting ways to teach and engage the students especially since they too became weary of studying spanish for 9+ hours! Bless their hearts! I have really loved my students. Only 8 which is such a great thing! I have enjoyed getting to know them and connect with them. It makes me realize why i love teaching.
I want to say thank you to my dear friend, Debbie because she proved to be my weekly brightener with our "Coffee Ranch" get togethers. Love her! I also love my daughter because she has been SUPER patient with her cranky mother. Love her mucho-mucho!
Now that summer school is over, I can look forward to taking some days to go on a vacation to San Antonio! Woo hoo! A vacation? What is that? Haven't had one of those for 6 years!
For tomorrow, I plan to enjoy a day with Bobby. What a nice way to end the week. We are going to attend the War concert. I grew up listening to early Christian Contemporary Music whereas he grew up listening to 70's rock. What a study in contrasts, huh? LOL. Anyway, he is exposing me to this genre of music and it's been fun!

Here I go...
25 de junio
So my son told me about his blog spot and I loved it! Then my daughter shared hers with me. I became curious & interested especially since I have journaled since I was 13 years old. I am 43 yrs old now so my piles of journals are numerous! Therefore, blogging seems right up my alley!!
I am a single mom with a son and daughter who are both students at Oklahoma Baptist University. I teach Spanish at the high school level and it is my passion. It is just like my mom used to always say, "God created you to teach.". I agree.
