Whew- what a scorcher this day was! I am certain temperatures were in the 90s… The kids certainly got no breaks at meals with drinks other than plain water. Normally, they have to drink a glass or two of water at lunch or dinner, and then they can have punch or lemonade but for most […]
Work was a bit long this week, then add in the travel times since all but one of the jobs I have been doing has been at least a half-hour away. Today, in fact, coming home took over an hour for what should have been a half hour before traffic. Sigh. So without further interruption,
Here are some pix for the day 1. I purposely tried to select pictures where the kids’ faces weren’t clear or were in profile since they are technically not my kids so I can’t give permission for them. If any of my silent readers from my church object to any of the pictures, please let
I guess if I am to not forget important details about camp, I will have to post a little more often. I have been working more lately (for less, may I remind you, during training) and when I have been off I have not felt like posting much. Anyway, on to day two. My alarm
Days -2, -1, and 0 were getting ready days of course. Day one however is where it begins. Past years have had a check-in time of 10:00AM. Not so this year. With a brand new 8:00AM check-in time I dragged myself out of bed early and got a ride over to the bank lot across

It looks like this may truly be the end for the summer, but it is also a beginning. I was able to secure jobs for the last three days. I even had a job for this morning, but I canceled it when I was still awake at midnight and it required an earlier start. I

Winter Blast 2009 that is. Meh- this post is two days late I know. I just didn’t feel like doing a second post on Sunday, and I did start this yesterday but I really didn’t have the time I needed to write the whole thing between work and small group. Anyway, back to the post.
And mostly due to my laziness I am subbing once again, and that is good news for this blog. I have been on hiatus from this for too long. I still intend to have some posts of my life outside of teaching, but for a while I have just been turned off from writing during
It’s official- summer is over Read More »
