vacation can not come soon enough

i gave out four detentions this afternoon :(   i realize that i only have 1 1/2 more days until break, but this week has already taken forever!  and the kids…yikes!  i’m working them hard to keep them occupied and at least somewhat subdued, but my strategy is not working for a few. 

i’m way past ready for christmas vacation.  i’ve hardly even thought about gifts for our family members.  ty’s been taking care of it…an internet christmas is on the way for our families :)  no great creative shopping trip and gifts this year! 

ok, enough griping.  back to my work…
