Final Stretch(es)

My daughter has three more days of school. Her birthday is Thursday and her party is Friday.

This coming weekend we have a Girl Scout camping trip.

My last day at work is next Friday, the 15th. There are tests to review for, administer, and correct. My desk space in the science hall has to be packed up. Even my boxes in the packing container need to be re-taped (I’ve gone in there countless times this year to find things I needed).

Hopefully they will finalize my schedule for next year before summer starts.

In less than a month we leave for St. Louis, and our home needs to be ready for our first AirBnB guests by then. We also need to prepare the grandparents’ house for our cat’s visit.

In less than two months we fly to Colombia. I am working on those arrangements now.

There is so much going on, it’s easy to get paralyzed by the sheer magnitude. I try to do one thing every day, one future-focused thing, so that the list of things doesn’t feel so overwhelming.

One step at a time. I can do this. And once the summer finally comes, it will be totally worth it.

  1. one steep at a time! Yes. I keep reminding myself of that when it feels like too much. Happy girl scouts and everyone’s end of school process!

  2. Did you change your destination? So exciting all of the summer fun you and your family get this year! Hard work paid off!
