What day is it?

Ok, as a teacher we all have that moment in the summer where we forget what day it is.  This has happened almost every day.  It happened just now.  This annoys my husband tremendously, but he's just jealous ;) Hey, we put up with a lot and work 150% during the school year.  I could go on and on defending our summers off, but I'm going to stay up watching Netflix instead…because I have the summer off ;) ;)

Here's what we have been up to:

Ellie took swim lessons at Mckinney High School.  Not only is that my alma mater, but I lifeguarded at that pool, took my lifeguard test there, took theatre dance in the room upstairs from the pool, (who remembers jazz pants??) and taught many swim lessons there.  I felt so old until someone asked if I was Ellie's big sister.  Ouch.  I know, I know, I'll love it when I am 50.  Ellie is doing awesome and will be doing another week with her teacher next week.

Jack has had summer school- it's only 4 days a week for 3 hours.  It's for the special needs students in McKinney- he works on behavior and social skills so that he doesn't regress.  He has worked so hard and done so well this year.  I have too :) I feel like I finally understand the ABA training and how to respond to his behavior.  He generally likes going and seeing friends and teachers, but would rather be playing on the iPad or splashing in the blow up pool.  He's always happy to see me when it's pick up time and it's so wonderful being able to take him and pick him up from school.  Being a teacher, I never get to do that and rely on parents.

While Jack had school, I ran errands and hung out with Ellie.  It's hard to divide attention, but I really try to do that everyday.  It's nice having some time where I don't have to work on dividing attention, and Ellie doesn't have to fight for it.

We might have had a birthday party for our cat.  Ridiculous, I know.  It was an excuse for chocolate cake and grandparents to come over.  Ellie and I both love a good party.  She decided to dress fancy and did her own hair.  She said, "I might have to take it easy on cake, because you know I'm going to dance."  She cracks me up.  Jack loves the Happy Birthday song and has discovered a new found love for chocolate.  The cat tried to bite me when I went to pick her up but I'm sure she enjoyed her birthday as well.


I already forgot again what day it is……….
