Summer is over, and my soul is not saved....
Every teacher I have ever known has some version of "the summer list" -- some things they plan to do or accomplish or whatever - during the summer (even if it's a trip, not a project list!) Anyway, I have just had my 20th such summer... and I don't recall that it has EVER come to an end SOOOO early!!! And did I get my list done??? eeek! Don't ask!!
I do have some friends (one of whom is a teacher, of course) that are under the impression that the teacher spouse has a list (the all year kind, not just the whimpy summer list) that is so long- that she will never die! (Something about how she will have to be left here on earth until she finishes her list....)
But for myself -- I wasn't really aiming for immortality! I just wanted to get my list done....
(Maybe NEXT year!!) (another thing teachers are prone to say.... !)

Happy Birthday! I hope you had a great day! I'm sorry you didn't get your list done this summer!
this summer really did fly by, faster than usual for me, too. every day, every week, every season seems to be rolling along in fast forward. Maybe we need to be immortal so we can 'get (all that) stuff done!'
Ha! I never do! (Get my list done, that is!) t'anks for the b/d greetings. It was a good day.
And yes, Muum, life does seem a little f/f! and- I don't want to have to stay until I finish my list!!
