It's over... It's over... It's over...

As Lisa Loeb would say in her song. The school year is officially over. Because I'm still waiting to hear back if I have a job next year, I had to move ALL my school stuff out of the classroom and back home. It's occupying the garage right now, I'm just glad I have great and fantastic women on my team who helped me load the last bit of it Saturday morning. :) I will REALLY miss them if I don't get to come back to my campus and get placed somewhere else in the district.

In other news, I really intended to post on Friday night, but Friday turned out to be a terrible day. My dog (Dioji; pronounced D-O-G)

had to be put to sleep. She had been under the weather for about a week. The doctor suspected something with her spleen or liver and was going to do an ultrasound Monday morning to get a better idea of what was going on. He scheduled that on Weds morning. By Friday afternoon, she was having seizures and my mom had to get her in pronto. They made the decision that the best thing for her would be to not prolong her life for her to suffer. They were pretty sure she was starting to bleed internally, and there really was little that could be done to help her for more than a month at most.

It's never easy losing a pet. Especially a pet that is 15 years old and you've had since they were a pup. Anyhow, we just love our vet so much. They told us to go on our vacation, clear our minds, and when we return to give them a call and they will have her ready. We arranged for her to be cremated. So, we will have her back with us when we retur

n. I miss her very much, but I know she's in a better place and waiting for me at the Rainbow Bridge. :)

RIP Dioji, the family misses you terribly!
