Maryq, I'm supposed to still have the kids tomorrow because Holly has to have an in service day and is moving to a new room in her school. They are just finishing up the building of all the additions and asked her if she'd like one of the brand new bigger rooms and she said yes. She's starting her 10th year of teaching this year. Our school year usually starts after the first week of August and ends about the 3rd week of May but with covid there's some loophole thing about how many days kids and teachers are there and stuff that if they didn't extend for at least 10 days then each district would lose a lot of money. I know Cruces voted no way and they lost a few million dollars in funding. I don't know how much we would've lost but we're a little town with not much money and no way to make that up.
Oh and yes, I'm thinking of starting the Christmas swap next month.
The kids all helped us clean our backyard, it looks really nice and only took an hour with all 5 of us working. I also got everything watered out there. After lunch and a movie maybe we'll water the front yard, it's already clean LOL
Lunch time here.
Tina
