School's out for Summer!!!!

Yippeeeee!!!!  Who is cheering the loudest at my house?  My kids, my overlooked laundry basket, or me???  

I love teaching for sure, but I must admit that summer is such a great time to refresh, renew, and relax!  My last day of school was Monday, and we started the week strong!  Bookbags are cleaned out and put away, the classroom is all packed up and organized for next fall, and I have begun attacking the pile of laundry here at the house that has been ignored for the last few weeks.  Tomorrow is goof off day for sure, though.  I am seeing swimsuits, sunscreen, and chillaxing in my immediate future!  

I hope you enjoy your summer with special friends and loved ones!  I do plan to post this summer from time to time, but am currently knee-deep working on a new book that I hope to be able to share with you in the months to come!  I attended a writing webinar last night, and the author shared about his days of "slogging through" the writing process.  That's definitely where I am right now..."slogging through" but trying to remember the little engine that could...I think I can, I think I can...  

Thanks for taking the time to stop by today!  Take time to enjoy the little things!  Shannon :-)
