Every year the end of the school year sneaks up on me. I swear it is April and then it skips to June! And how do I keep over booking myself for all this 'stuff' that happens in the last two weeks of school, such as:
8th grade graduation - The 7th grade parents put it on and I'm in charge of assignments, drinks, ice, serving and replenishing food and of course clean up.
7th grade field trip - Had to scramble and pull in quite a few favors for this one. Not one parent signed up (a case of "Oh, someone else (Sherri & Kim*) will take care of it!")
International Day - I get to represent the good ol US of A. I loved it last year and I'll make it great but still, one more thing!
*We, as a family, need to adopt Kim. She'd be a perfect fit. She totally gets our humor, knows all of the important family names and great in a pinch. All in favor say Aye!
So, basically, I'm a little stressed, Jim's gone (nothing new there), and I have "... a wedding to plan, my wife to kill and Gilder to blame for it: I'm swamped!"
I'm feeling your pain. Really. No, I don't have any field trips or assemblies or graduations to plan, but I do have Danny to get through finals...and that's bad enough. Plus seminary...seminary breakfast...seminary conference...seminary graduation...more finals for Danny...
ReplyDeleteI just want to curl up in fetal position and ignore it all.
Booked solid for the next two weeks and everytime I accelerate faster than a crawl, Zac walks up to me and leans/whines/cries/screams/taps on me.
ReplyDeleteAs the first (and I admit-oldest)I love that I don't have any end of school year stuff....yet! I do have grandkids that will doing school activities soon and I will support!
ReplyDeleteLooking at your schedule I can see that you have a bad case of "helium hands"...next year wear lead gloves.
After Joseph's baptism tonight I am DONE with all my laundry list of stuff. Can't wait!
