Home Stretch

We are in the home stretch of the school year with only 6 days of school left to go.

My days are filled to the brim at work, without a moment to breathe (I've gotta get all communication out, all decisions made that impact teachers by next Thursday before their contracts end), followed by evenings filled with making blue jello oceans for Colin's Kindergarten class and trying to find nice end of the year gifts for everyone.

How is it that I always forget what this time of year is like... and then it creeps up on me and smacks me in the face?

I SWORE this year I would be more organized. I SWORE that I would have things together and be more focused. I SWORE....

And now I'm really swearing. I've got a LOT to do and only a few days to do it in. Damn. Oh well, it will all be over soon....
