Well, I haven't blogged in several days so I will try to catch up on what has been going on.   We finished up the last week of school.  Everyone was ready for the summer vacation to begin.  The first three days of the week were normal days except on Wednesday after school we had a retirement party for Barbara Murray, Vicki Matteson, and Cheryl Bruce.  Thursday the kids got out of school at 2:00 and we could leave at 3:30.  I had an early out card (3:00) that Mrs. Sanders and Ms. Word had given me for my birthday so I used it Thursday.   Our last day was Friday.  The kids left at noon but we couldn't leave until 2:00.  Our lunch was at Garibaldi's as it always is at the end of school.  Once we left there we went back to school until time for us to leave.  Then summer vacation began.   On Saturday morning, Russell, Bailee, Ryan, and I left for our short family trip to Balmorhea.  It was a long way down there but we really had fun.  We swam, ate, went sight-seeing, and relaxed.  It was so nice to not have to be in a routine and be able to do what we wanted.  We stayed until Tuesday and headed back home that morning.   When we got home that afternoon I relaxed for a while.  Then I did some laundry because Thursday morning we are leaving to go to Bonham.  Russell is speaking at the graduation of Dodd City High School, the school he graduated from on Friday night.  Saturday he is leaving to go on a fishing trip with some of his friends but the kids and I are going to stay in Bonham.  We are going to go back home on Monday because Bailee has a softball game Tuesday night.  Russell is coming home either Monday night or Tuesday morning to get back home in time for her game.  Soon after that we will be packing again to head to Dallas to see Rascal Flatts in concert.  It is going to be so awesome and I cannot wait.   More to come later.
