2. No, it doesn't make any sense to have a huge project
due this close to the end of the year, but it's the last big hurdle. Again, you
can do this. Have a glass of wine.
3. Don't forget to buy the water balloons for water day, prepare
snacks for author's tea and put in the work leave slip for field day. Oh, and
since your brain is now fried, write it down, woman.
4. Although Baseball season is still ongoing, it is already
time to sign up for fall sports sign-up. Make you sure you do it before summer
starts and your bran totally turns off to such things.
5. Just ignore the hole in your son's shoes, he'll be in
flip flops every day soon. Before you know it, it will be time for new school
shoes, anyway.
6. Make summer rules clear now and include some sort of
learning before another August 25th comes around and you realize that between
camps and vacations your son did not do half of the learning you planned.
7. Speaking of summer camps, did you research and sign up
for those? How about the vacation plans. Darn, I should have done all of this
is April when I first thought about it!
8. In between the crazy end-of-year schedule, try to
appreciate the structure a little bit. A part of you will want this back in a
month or so.
9. Don't forget about Father's day. It's coming up soon
and you will have to do a craft with your child because it won't happen at
school like the Mother's day project. Who planned Father's day so close to the
end of the school year, anyway? Probably someone who agrees that school should
not go so far into June!
10. Don't forget the
chalk and other accessories for the last day of school photo. Oh, and make sure
it closely matches the first day of school photo so that the side-by-side is
perfect! How could a school-year end without a Facebook-worthy, Pinterest-researched
photo? Okay, I'm just kidding on that one. There may be a last-day-of-school
picture; it will just be taken on my cell phone when I get home from work hours
after the day ends. It will probably be taken in a rush before I start dinner.
For the record, I think those of you who will take adorable and amazing photos
with witty captions are awesome. I just do not have the energy for such things
at this point.
*So I said 10, but I have one more:
11. Make sure you get a great gift for the teacher. If you are struggling with your kid's attitude at the end of the year, imagine how she feels with 25!
What is going through your head as the year ends?
