Ok my summer is almost over.  We got back Sunday from yet another wonderful vacation.  It started off with Ron's family reunion which was lots of fun in spite of the rain that came too.  Then it was off to Conconully for a nice stay at Shady Pines and lot of quad riding. It has been a few years since we were there but it hasn't changed which is wonderful.  We put a lot of miles on our atv's and saw lots of pretty sites.  The deer are thick in that area and we rode into town every nite to watch them wander into the park.  We would sit on the side of the rode and just wait for them to wander by.  Oh man do I love the peace and tranquility of that area.  I cancelled my dr appointment because I am tight enough and I had a ton of beans to deal with when we got home....we picked a 5 gallon bucket which translated to 33 pints in the jar.  Monday was my bid day and I have been stressing over that because  it was jump out the bus day too.  I have avoided having to do that the last 2 years do to surgery and I wasn't feeling to confident that I would be able to do it and I didn't make it my first time.  I was stressing big time at that point but did it again and made it with 2 seconds to spare.  whew.  I never would have made it with out lossing the 72 pounds.  I cried when I made it....yikes I can be so emotional sometimes.  Ross gave me a hug and I told him that I would be much better next year...and I will. 

I don't know why they always have to mess with the routes.  I had called Tami and had her check my route and it was no surprise that they had not kept it together.  I knew last year when I had it so easy that I probably wouldn't luck out and be able to do the same thing this year and I was right.  Now that hard part...what to do and what to pick.  I have been debating whether to go to sped and actually thought I might make the switch this year but I need to loose a few more pounds before I can handle the physical apspects of the job.  Ron is always so supportive of my decision which really helps.I couldnt justify sitcking with ELL because there was no mid day and the thought of having to sit there for 4 hours just makes me ill so I  decided to go with my re done old route inspite of the fact that I will have to do an elementary run that has 65 kids.  I hope I made the right decision...time will tell.  SO tomorrow it is off to Oregon to get ready for the big garage sale at Dad's and then I will come home on Saturday to do more beans.  Next week I have class, practice my run, and inservice....where did all my free time go....
