yes, it's that time folks...IEP crunch time. i have close to 50 kids on my caseload...most of which have summer birthdays, which means that i need to have their IEP meetings before the school year is over. and we have 10 days left, not counting this day. IEP paperwork, on top of medicaid billings and treatment makes for loooong days...which turn into longer days when i truck it to the hospital in the afternoons! i really shouldn't complain, though. i have a job! thank God.
in other news, i am gearing up for the summer! amy and i have spent some time planning out our adventures :) skip (the pastor of my church), and his family have left for florida for the month. i would LOVE to have that flexibility, and i'm so glad they're able to take a break and rest. and even more glad that they left their kayaks! amy is keeping there dog switch (aka snitch, stitch, stitches, flick, etc...) and they told her to use the kayaks as often as she wants. so saturday amy and i trucked it down to a neighbor's dock on lake wylie (she lives in tega cay, by the way), and set out to have a day of adventure. when we got there the neighbor was home (clark), and he told us we could also use his pontoon and jet ski when we wanted as well!! yeeeeeaah! that is awesome. this particular day; however, we just wanted to play on the kayaks. and play we did. we found a dock that we've hung out on before...we're not really sure who it belongs to. there is no house associated with it, and our best guess is that it's owned by duke power...b/c there is a metal plate on the outside of it that says "duke power." makes sense, right? anyway, we paddled over to "our" dock and played in the water, kayaked, and laid out in the sun. it was AWESOME. we did the same thing on sunday after church. and yesterday afternoon after school we kayaked over to the namowisc's (sp?...i usually just call them the namowhiskers ;) and jumped off their high dock...without permission. i know, we live SO on the edge, right? hahahahaha. anyway, we then paddled back and i went and hung out with michelle and beulah while andy took his seminary final. i just love that family. michelle is a wonderful friend and so fun to be around...and beulah lights up any room she's in. i am continually amazed at the people God has placed in my life. so that's one thing we're going to do this summer...use the heck out of that boat, jetski, and those kayaks.
we've also talked about touring the great north carolina wine country. ahhahahahahahhaha. but seriously. they're are vineyards around and we want to check them out. other plans include, but are not limited to, weekend trips to asheville, carborro, virginia, charleston, san diego, LA...ha, yeah right. i don't know where we think we're going to get all of this money! we both work for the school district! but we will do as much as we can with what we have! maybe we can be like betty jo ray and "become a tourist in our hometown." remember that little spot on cn2 in college, girls? i hope my college friends are reading this, otherwise that sentence was wasted.
well, that's all i got right now. i should get back to writing IEP's and scheduling meetings. i just needed 5 minutes (well, what turned into 20...) of shooting the breeze. i hope the busyness (sp?) makes the time fly!
