School may be out for the summer,
but I am still trudging along at work at the high school. Each year I find it harder and harder to work in the summer when all the teachers and other secretaries are off enjoy their summer. Oh, well, I was the one who wanted the 12 month contract when I took the job 7 years ago. I do long for the day that they may consider cutting my contract to 9 1/2 months. But I don't see that happening anytime soon.
So now that summer is here, so is the heat. Triple digits already. Being the outdoor person that I am, I find myself happy to have the sun shining and beating down. It is hard to spend all day behind a desk in air conditioning and then going outside to work in the yard but a little heat won't stop the farm girl at heart.
As for what is going on in the Coleman household, well, let's see. We celebrated Kenny and Mason's birthday's 
the first part of May. And Jesse's birthday this week. 
the first part of May. And Jesse's birthday this week. 
This past weekend, all of us were able to take off work and visit Kenny for Father's Day.
We had a great time and did some summer site seeing too. We saw the World's Largest Catsup Bottle which is really a water tower in Collinsville, IL
only 6 miles from Kenny's apartment. I have been going to visit Kenny in Edwardsville, IL almost every weekend. It has been fun. The kids are both working.
Mason is working full time this summer for the school on the remodel crew and Jesse is still working at the Law Firm and taking summer classes at the University. I am proud of both of them. It leaves them little time to be with Kenny and I and that takes it toll on me. I miss the days that they needed me. But I am dealing and trying to find my new role.
I have taken to birdwatching in the past month.
Something that Kenny has done for years. I figured it would give us something to do together even though we are far apart. It has turned out to be a true source of enjoyment for me.

Not much else going on right now. I have a new website on Shutterfly.com so I am debating whether to shut this one down and only do the one or try to keep up with both of them. If anyone has a suggestion, please comment. My other website is http://uglyshoes.shutterfly.com/#.
I hope you all have a wonderful summer!!!
