I feel like I have not had a break in awhile. I know there are plenty of people who go long stretches with no vacations, and I am a teacher so I often hear the, "you just sit around all summer" line more times than I can count. Actually, I usually teach for a two to three month stretch before I get a vacation that usually lasts for roughly three weeks. I have been on the same schedule for more than decade, my clock is sort of used to the schedule by now.
I am now going to yell at a few clouds, but before I do here is a Stadium Club autograph of Brandon Lowe that I picked up. I had not posted it yet, but here it is now....
I drove more than 3,000 miles this summer. I went from Raleigh to St. Louis, to mid-Missouri, and then on to northern Michigan. Eventually I ended up in Grand Rapids for a wedding before driving home (13 hours with 2 kids) the day before the beginning of the school year started. I switched grade levels, moved classrooms, and ended up running a committee.
I feel a little stretched thin.
This is a Steven Souza autograph that I also did not get a chance to post.
This card cost me $2.00. It's Steven Souza, but he once won the International League MVP Award in a season where he only played 90 games. His numbers were insane.
Friday was my last day at work for the next three weeks. I am not going anywhere, or doing anything the least bit responsible during that time. I am going to spend some serious time doing non-work things. Kids going to parks and museums, home improvement projects, and baseball cards. I have actually been planning on doing some writing on a project I have been working on for awhile with my baseball cards.
I am pretty excited about it.
This is Tanner Houck. I once saw him pitch a no hitter. I didn't have time to post this when I got it a few months back.
Definitely needs a post or two next week since the project has been six years in the making.
This picture was from way back when I started a project with my cards. The original post is here. My baseball card room used to be really red. It's not that color anymore. I am going to get a little bit of rest and probably take my kids to the park first.
I feel you on being stretched thin. I didn't travel as much as you... and I didn't have to switch grade levels or classrooms, but I'm teaching a new class and I'm on a few committees... plus it's my evaluation year... so it's been a lot for me the past few weeks.
