So I thought I would take my hurricane day to update my blog. Summer has come to end (one day later than it was suppose to thanks to Fay). I will be back to teaching chem and getting up before 5am. I must admit that I am looking forward to the new school year but not the hour at which it must start. The kids are ready too I think. Jackson is starting second grade - his second year in the partial Spanish immersion program. Perhaps I will have hime blog in Spanish one of these days. Madeline is going to 4th. She did pass the FCAT with flying colors for those of you who were concerned she wouldn't ;)

So on Fay Day, I went for a nice easy 3 mile run. The weather was cooler than normal with a decent breeze! I had to test my back since it froze up on me over the weekend. That was not fun but the run was good and my back feels good now. I think brownie making with the kids is up next. The weather is holding up pretty nicely; a little gusty but no rain yet. Still to come... preparations for the First Day: pack the backpacks, get clothes together etc.
So as I am typing this - I am watching an update on Fay. Strangely this peculiar storm has strengthened over land and is looking more defined. Still somehow missing Pinellas County entirely. Stay Away Fay!
