Twelve weeks until summer!!!

I am in a new school building, and in spite of central air conditioning, my room is always hot in August/September and now through June. In the winter, my room was freezing. It is utterly ridiculous.
P.S. I absolutely LOVE Zappos! I order from them frequently because I've had wide feet since my pregnancy, and I can't buy shoes in a department store anymore.
My room is the same way. Also very cold in the morning and scorching hot by the end of the day due to the way the sun hits my windows...
I also love Zappos...I wear wide shoes as well and have never found cute shoes at the mall. I always have my sister-in-law (perfect size 7) try on the shoes I like so I can see how cute they are...but I can never find them in my size.. Thanks goodness for online shopping!!!0 -
We've got 8 more weeks of school left here in Western NC!
We have had hardly any winter this year and hardly any breaks. In one more week we'll get spring break - thank goodness!
The warmer weather lately has made me more motivated to exercise, especially outdoors (but this means I don't want to go inside to the gym!)
I'm a Kindergarten teacher (this is my 6th yr teaching, mostly K and a little 2nd grade) and I'm also finishing up my Master's degree. I graduate in May! and I cannot wait to have my time back. So so often lately I've had to forgo exercise so I have time to get all my work done.
Congrats on completing your master's...not easy - especially with working. And if you have kiddos of your own - you just get pulled in all directions.
A funny but sad and touching story from my life... I was going to school when my kiddos were little and one night as I was headed out the door again (I worked full-time and went to school full-time) my youngest darling said to me, "Mommy, crawl in bed and pretend you're sick". *sigh*

Zappo's customer service is the BEST! Sadly, just had to return a pair of La Canadienne boots... Am searching for a pair of knee-length boots that have narrow shafts (my calves are 12.5" at widest) and unsuccessful so far... I'm seriously contemplating having my old Clarks overhauled at the shoe repair...if that can be done.
You would think that a new building would have a rather decent computerized heating/cooling system in place? Do you have an individual control in your room? Our rooms have that - although we are told to help keep costs down by not cranking the heat up...
Yeah, you would think. I think that the problem is the humans that are used to the old fashioned heating/cooling units. The old boys didn't understand how to operate the computerized system and broke it the first year we had it. It has never been right since then. I do have a controller for temperature in my room, but it does nothing. I have it turned off all 183 days, and it is always a sauna in here. I joke with my colleagues that my room is the sauna and mani/pedis are across the hall! (If only

Congratulations! I finished last year. I waited until the last minute so that my daughter was old enough to not miss me. It didn't matter...teenagers need there moms just as much as toddlers, just in different ways. But, it is a relief to be done. It will feel so good to you to have it over and done. :drinker:0 -

Wow! May 24th?! Not in my wildest dreams have I thought of summer vacation starting so early. When do you start back? We are usually back the last week of August with one week off at Christmas, February, and April, then we get out the mid/end of June. We put in 183 days.0 -

We started back on August 24 and finish June 13. We have one week the last week of October, Christmas (2 weeks), and a week in April. Summer can't come quickly enough this year. I'm teaching a K/1 combo this year and while I'm enjoying it, it's exhausting! I'm in southern California.

I would love to be off in October. I would love to go to Disney World in Orlando in October to see the Halloween decorations.0

I'm a teacher candidate, so I'm currently in school for teaching - I'm in clinicals, so I'm getting a taste of what it's like to be a real teacher! We always try to support healthy habits in my classroom, but I realize I need to lead by example. Plus, I'm 22...and I would really like to be able to wear a bikini for the first time ever. EEK!0

We go back August 13th... when it's god awful hot out! haha0

Spring break has begun!!
I took a 1/2 hr walk today and ran a million errands.
Tomorrow I'm going to get up early and go ride!
Our last day of school this year is June 1st. We'll go back mid-August.
Our school year is 182 days this year (up from 180 and will probably be 185 next year).0 -
I'm tired from my fun busy weekend, and I'm not feeling this diet thing right now. As you could read elsewhere, I didn't go off the deep end, but I wasn't exactly a saint on Sunday either. In other words, I need a kick in the bottom. Anybody want to lend me their foot?0

Am trying to upload pic of Kizzy right now, still getting to grips with how to do stuff on this site!Had a parents' evening tonight, which went on a bit. Have missed walk and sunshine for today - booooo! Had a good calorie day though so still feeling upbeat. What dog do you have? Mine's a crossbreed of saluki and collie, called Kizzy, and she's adorably bonkers.
Just realised I'm doing this a bit wrong. Am I supposed to use the quote function to show who I'm answering?...yep...I think I am...sorry ladies!
We had our much-loved retriever/spaniel mix put down last summer (hubby was gracious to wait until offspring and I had left for our summer vacation without him) and he was so beside himself afterwards, couldn't bear the thought of bringing a new puppy into the home.
Fast-forward to New Year's Eve...and my hubby sweetly noticed that one of my gal friend's lab/terrier mix puppies made a home of my lap that evening... The little gal, (whom we named Grace O'Malley), joined our family around the first of February (her pics are at my profile site) and what a sweetie she is! My friend's son had potty trained her and worked with her - knowing she was joining our family (and probably realizing that since he is friends with my sons - would hear about it if she was a naughty little thing! Ha!):laugh: She seriously brought her leash to me in her mouth the very next day after getting her!
I hear you on the cold/heat in the building...at the last school - the heat was on constantly and I could never wear winter clothes. This building is cold...I pretty much live in my knee-length boots all winter. Sadly, I wore out (literally holes in soles) of both pair (identical) of my fave Clarks boots (slightly dressy with a snipped toe, and 2 1/2" heel). Found a pair of wedgie boots (Clarks) on Ebay - just more casual looking. I pretty much live in Clarks (sandals and shoes) when it's not raining... Our selection over here is much different than you have available (although Zappo's online isn't too bad) and couldn't believe that there was a Clarks store in Kirkwall! (If you'll pardon my saying so...there wasn't a whole awful lot, town-wise to Kirkwall! But, I also live in the suburbs of a major west coast city! That is my comparison...) Also found some amazing deals at the Clarks outlet in N. Ireland... We have a couple of outlets locally - but the selection isn't the same.
Can you post pics of Kizzy? I didn't know what a Saluki looked like...googled it - bet your Kizzy is gorgeous!

Oh! She is a cutie! Not sure if it is just the way the light hits her - but she looks like she is smiling!0
