Every year at this time I am mixed with emotion. Part of me is elated that the school year is FINALLY over--no more homework, no more nagging, no more living by the clock. And the other part of me is a bit melancholy--sad to see another year pass by so quickly and a bit weepy to think that my kids are moving beyond the early primary grades (can I really be that old??).
I'm always amazed at how easily I can tear up at an end of year talent show, sewing party or picnic. How receiving a thank you gift from my kids' teachers can turn on my waterworks. All of these little milestones and gestures make me melt. I guess it is because as much as I complain about that which annoys me (too much homework, not enough volunteers, blah, blah, blah), I really do love my children's school and am thankful for the experiences they and I are having.
Happy Last Day of School Everyone!!!
