friday random ten: “school’s out” edition
18 Jun
Yes, it’s that fateful Friday every year where I get to start resenting my kids because they don’t have to get up early every Monday through Friday for a couple of months, and I still do…
THE LAST DAY OF SCHOOL™!!!
Oh well, nothing to be done about it. Still, it’s cool another year’s gone by, and my eldest is facing the more-demeaning-as-one-grows-older local rite of passage that is the class dance performance on the playground for the school’s “community day” for the last time…yes, officially as of lunchtime today, I am the parent of a middle school student.
I guess that means I’m officially old now. But I already knew that.
