Finally school is out and there is no more waking up to the sound of the alarm clock. As I type it is pouring rain outside and lightening flashes. The girls are watching Jurasic Par: The Lost World and the dogs are whimpering at the thunder. Tchaik paces the living room, stressed by it all. Occasionally he will hide in the corner, but he now heads into the master bedroom so he can hide his head under the bed. His body will not fit, but he does not realize that everyone can still see him.

It is nice to not have to drive 35 minutes to work each day, but I am still working. Most teachers here are on a ten month pay schedule so it requires creative planning and/or working in the summer. Since we are still in transition, it requires both. Fortunately, I am able to work from home confirming appointments for a photography company. The money is OK and the hours I can creatively set. It also does not require me to leave home and deal with people. I don’t hate people, but dealing face to face with the public is not fun. Calling on the phone is so much better. I must say though, if you have your cell set up to play a song when people call, MAKE IT STOP! OMG it is obnoxious and it really sounds terrible. Oh, and responses such as mmm-hmm and uh-aaah. Yeah, not too great. Speak people. I suspect this job will provide much blog fodder.
