The final countdown has begun... almost like the 12 Days of Christmas, but not related to any major holiday and not quite as snazzy and a little bit longer (like 22 days). This countdown, oh yes... the end of school, the start of summer. The last four weeks are upon us... end of the year testing, prom attending, classroom cleaning, party planning, field day playing... not to mention the student-managing ... it is all a bit overwhelming.
In the past week, I've finished my spring courses and my portfolio for graduation in August. Huge relief! Now I can actually focus -- or at least try to focus -- on finishing the school year and getting back to my resolutions. I haven't been for a run in over a month, and my financial budgeting skills are definitely not improving. It's also more difficult to be thoughtful when I'm busy (I know, I know; that's the point-- to not be so selfish, but it's kinda hard).
AND... on top of the race to the end ... Tis' the season for playoffs around our house. This "joyous" season implies late nights reviewing game strategy, daily venting sessions about umpires/officials, and heaping piles of dirty uniforms (in the most peculiar places... i.e., my kitchen table). Although exciting, especially if the games end in victories, it's exhausting.
The month of May is chaos. That's all I can really say about that today. Tomorrow, maybe I'll get out for a run. If not, it's one day closer to the end. (Insert keyboard music and bad dancing... The Final Countdown).
July 8, July 8, July 8, July 8........
