Mexico

School is out for the summer (not really - half day tomorrow and curriculum writing on Monday). The kids are all gone and the teachers of Northway had their annual luncheon. Lots of good eats. Anyway, next week we are going to Mexico. I am finally going after 4 years of not going. So I am very excited. I can't wait. I love the busyness of the Mexico City. Everyone is very friendly and I love to watch the people selling things. It is so totally different from the U.S. They try to get your attention, taste their food or look at their things and get you to buy. I think it is funny when they yell to me "Hey Blondie". There is not a blonde hair on my head. Maybe lots of gray ones but not blonde. I hope we go to Acapulco. So, I can sit on the beach and have people bring me Yoli all day. At night we can go to our favorite restaurant and eat our most favorite chicken. You can take me to the fanciest restaurants around the world and I would still say this is the best place in the World to eat. Then we got see the Cliff Divers and eat Coconut ice cream. Life is good.

The End is Near!

You thought I was talking about the adoption didn't you. Fooled you. Actually it is the school year that is almost over. Next week at this time it will all be over. Of course I have to work Monday the 16th for curriculum writing (not one of my favorite things to do). Okay time for little bemoaning. I hate this time of year. It all has to do with getting books back to the library. There is invariably a few students that forget and forget and forget their library books. I ask them every day where they are. We call home. We talk to the principal. Nothing seems to work. So for about two weeks, I feel like Cruella de Villa. So next Thursday when the students have left. I will breath a sigh of relief that I can give up my mean nasty persona and go back to being good old lovable me. I can't wait.
