Oh happy day! Last day of school , which means this Lunch Lady gets a couple months off. Not great to go without the paycheck, but since I have to, I am going to admit that I am so glad to have the summer off. I will still be taking college courses (guess who made the Deans List last semester?) but having the morning to get things done will be such a blessing.
So I spent the last 3 hours cleaning the school kitchen and came home to.....you guessed it, a messy kitchen of my own. I don't think I can deal with it right now. Maybe after a nap, or bright and early tomorrow morning. I know, I'm such a slacker.
I also came home to the cutest package in the mail. A little somethin, somethin, from my friend Sherry at Bella Rennie. A wonderful artist who makes gorgeous cards and tags and other things. You can find her shop here and on my sidebar. Look how cute she made the envelope! The tag has the prettiest graphics and ribbon and it is postcard size so if I wanted to send it to a friend I could write something lovely on the back and send it right out. I think I'll keep it. If I need one for a friend I know where to get another.
Love the nest. And speaking of nesting, I have a summers worth of cleaning and decorating and organizing to do. Projects to finish, projects to start and just the general list of housework to do. The very thought of it all is so exhausting that that nap is sounding better and better. What do you have planned for the summer?
Kathy..congratulation..Dean's List!! Way to go !! I hope you enjoy your summer..and get all your projects finished. Try to rest..it sounds like you need it!!
ReplyDeleteIf you want another project ..stop by blog and see what is up. lol

ReplyDeleteWell, let's see. This summer, I hope to get ALOT of the re-landscaping done here. I hope to have many bar-b-ques, dinners fresh from my garden, take hikes to the waterfalls, visit family out of state and figure out where I want to go with my business.....
Hugs,

I tired to save chickadee this month :( Yes...I do love birds!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful summer and that is awesome that you made the Dean's list.

Deb :)
Yeah! School's out! Scream and shout! I know just how you feel. I finished last Friday. Woo hoo!
ReplyDeleteWow - that is a fantastic accomplishment - Dean's list. You are awesome! Will you take any classes this summer?
My plans for this summer are to drive to swim lessons and swim team practice. But thankfully that ends in July and I'll have a couple weeks with no having to get out the door to something. I also plan to work on a few projects around the house. I would love to paint my china cabinet. I would love to change the colors in my kitchen. I would love to paint my living room. But I will be happy to just enjoy this time with my daughter and husband and be happy with whatever I get done. Hey! Thanks for asking!
Good for you getting on the Dean's List. It is quite an achievement especially considering you are working full time, have a family, house, etc. Congrats!
ReplyDeleteHearty congratulations on making the Dean's List. My goodness, but you are SMART !! You and your honey both!!
ReplyDeleteLove your sweet surprise..I'd keep it, too. ;0
Now, don't you work too hard thru this summer. Take lots of naps and eat ice cream....:)))
Whoo-hoo! The Dean's List! Good for you! Enjoy your time off this summer - you deserve a nap or two and some fun things along the way.
