5/10- You showed me just how to walk without your hand 'cause Mom you always were the perfect fan

Weight Loss for the Week: .25 lbs

I got in most of my workouts for this week. I tracked points fairly well this week. And I managed to survive one of the crazier weeks/weekends of the school year.

The seniors graduated yesterday. It's one of those bittersweet moments. You're glad they've made it and are moving on, but you know you'll miss them and their unique brand of humor/craziness/sweetness. One of those things so special about teaching- you really care about your kids, feel like they're yours, and then the year ends, and another batch goes while a new one gears up to take their place.

In the meantime, my juniors and sophomores are finishing up their final units and will test on them in a few days before beginning their exam review. This year just flew by. Time seems to go faster and faster every year, I swear. Maybe that's just one of the signs of getting older though. It's been a good year, productive, informative, challenging, and humorous. I can't believe it's winding down in the next two weeks. Then, Mom and I will be off for a trip to Charleston and Savannah :) It will be fun for sure!

Monday evening, Sean, Conor, and I had a nice dinner at Belly Acres- I love that they get along so well. Wednesday, Mom and I caught up while out for a walk. Then, I went to Faith Sharing. Friday, before Baccalaureate, some of us got some dinner which was fun. Before graduation, some of us got some breakfast- yum! After graduation, I went over to Jan's and relaxed with a few other teachers as we reminisced about the year and all. We had so much fun, I didn't even notice how long we'd been at it until it was after 9pm. Then, I knew I needed to go home and get some rest since today was Mother's Day. Mom, Memaw, Conor, and I celebrated Mother's Day by going to brunch at Stone Soup. It was delicious, as always! We had a very nice time, and then we went for a drive around Midtown and Downtown before going home. It was quite nice. I vegged for a bit after I got home, then, I decided to do a deep-cleaning of my closets. It's time to figure out what I actually use/wear, and what I don't. Now, I have a big pile of things to take to the Goodwill tomorrow :)

Okay, time to veg a little more before the weekend ends.

Tip of the Week: Just keep swimming!
