Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I did it. almost. I still have tomorrow morning, but I did it.

I can't believe how fast the year has gone. I know I say that every year, but this year...wow!

June is a long month of 12 hour days 7 days a week to get through all the government required documents, testing, evaluation and report card. Toss in a couple track days, 2 field trips and 2 awards days and it's a full meal deal. I do not know how you folks who work 12 hour days do it. You have my full and complete respect.  I came home exhausted and felt like I had no time for cooking or cleaning or times with my family.

I had a great group of kids this year. A HUGE group, but great. For all you folks out there who wonder, size DOES matter. Even with decently behaved kids with only some learning challenges, you cannot effectively teach large groups. You just can't get to them all, and that eats me up. I  was blessed with so many supportive parents/grandparents.

I have to say that money and budget has taken a huge back seat since Easter. I have not tracked. I have not saved. I have not made good choices.  With DS1 gone down to the States I had a chance to 'save' on groceries while he was gone and I did not take advantage of that at all. I need to focus and regroup, fast.

My health has been stable. No colitis rebounds (insert happy dance). I didn't get a whole lot of good nutrition or exercise in though and my body feels like utter and complete crap. 

My blog has taken a back seat :(

July needs to be a focus on money and on health.

I am excited to get started.
