Well the weekend is over. And now it’s May.
May is always a crazy month. The weather has been kind of cold, and very windy, but I can still sense summer coming. It’s really just around the corner, but its a very long, busy corner indeed.
My kids have 4.5 weeks left of school. I have six. That is crazy to type out. I actually just went and checked my calendar app to make sure I was right about that. But I am. We are definitely in the home stretch.
In a couple weeks my son has his red belt test and the weekend after that I’m going to Portland for a martial arts retreat. My thoughts will be directed at those two events, and by the time they happen the school year will officially be coming to a close.
My daughter turns 12 in early June. I really can’t believe that.
The long weekend was lovely. I’m so glad it worked out for my husband and I to take Friday off. Wednesday and Thursday we were very short on subs and I was starting to freak out that they would poach my substitute from me on Friday. This is the main reason I never take a day off – because we never have enough subs and I can’t enjoy a day off knowing my colleagues have to give up their prep periods covering my classes. But they didn’t poach my sub, so all was well. I have to admit, knowing my friend is around makes it hard not to take every Friday off… I mean I have the days…
But obviously I will not be doing that. And that’s okay because I don’t need to do that. I can get through these next six weeks.
I can do it. It’s only six weeks. It will be over before I know it.
6 weeks!!! Hurrah.
Glad your day off was good and covered by your sub. Am certain it was good for your whole family.
Yes, May does look like summer…. I am hearing it will hit close to 90 in areas very near you and after the windy weather that brought real chill around here it is a BIG change. Do not think where you are will be quite that warm. But summer is clearly coming…..Wish there was a chance of a bit more rain first but remembering to appreciate what we do have.
Hang in, wishing you joy, a pass on the red belt for son (he is doing so well) and a reviving retreat to look forward to celebrate.
I mean, if you have the days and that mental break day is really beneficial for you, why not take off Fridays? They’re your PTO hours to use as you wish! Glad you enjoyed last Friday off. 🙂
