You can just feel it. The end of the school year is so close, yet so very far away still. It’s crazy how just a few weeks can feel like an eternity when you really sit down and look day-by-day at the calendar between now and then. Final projects, little league and softball playoffs and Championship games, Spring Concerts, Teacher Appreciation Week, Field Trips, end of year parties, aaaaaannnd, just normal life. It’s no wonder that I literally feel like I am putting one foot in front of the other in a marathon that runs from Spring Break to the end of the school year, and I might JUST BARELY cross the finish line.
I came across this article the other day by Jen Hatmaker, an author who I just love. I laughed out loud repeatedly while reading it, and needed to share it with all of you so that you really, really know you are not alone. The way in which she describes this “suckage” of May, this “end of year mad dash,” is hilarious and so very real.
We are almost there. That finish line, though seemingly still so very, very far away, will be here before we know it. And then we will all “party like it’s 1999.” Trust me.
