Good Bye and Hello: Moving, Conference Presentations, and Life

Not sure if anyone has noticed, but I've not been blogging recently...although I have plans to change that (I hope!)  Life has sort of gotten in the way. For one thing, say GOOD-BYE to this:

And HELLO to this during the last week of school:

And now HELLO to this:

 And then this...

and some of this:

 Yep, you guessed it.  I am changing rooms.  Not only that, but the room had to be painted (by me) and new flooring has had to be installed (not by me).  So it has been a hectic few weeks.  Did I mention it is down a flight of stairs.  Apparently I am a bit of a hoarder...so there is still A LOT that needs to be moved, including one giant sized loft (by me)! #scared

 Exhibit A:

But what else have I been up to?  Well, we went to the beach.  We ate well, saw dolphins, celebrated Emma's 14th birthday, and...

 even visited a battleship!

 We celebrated Jack's 8th birthday with some dinosaurs.

As for my upcoming week, I have math trainings all week and I also plan to return to a book study that I started and never finished during the school year with this book:

Anyone else read it?  If you haven't, get it!!
AND then there are also two other minor things (#sarcasm) I've been finishing up:

 I am presenting at I Teach 1st in Las Vegas on July 8th all about what I have learned after 18 years in the classroom!  I am so excited to participate in this SDE event! (there's a button on the sidebar for more details!)

 I am also presenting at the TpT Conference on July 10th  in Vegas about how to manage everything in life and "do it all!" I love meeting other TpT sellers and seeing all my bloggy friends!  I've already had a nightmare that my sessions are empty and it's just me, talking to this empty room....sad and lonely.  #cuckoo #becausemyfriendangelawillbethere
