School’s out! And even though many of us have been out of school for quite some time, summer still holds the promise of beachy days and carefree fun.
I’m especially nostalgic this summer. My Cade turns 18 and is graduating from high school. So, this is really the last official “school’s out” that we will share. No more lazy summer days for him or vacation as he prepares for college and adulthood. When you are in the thick of parenting, it seems endless– an endless cycle of school days, homework, scheduling, and summers. And then, just like that, it’s over.
What the heck do I do now? Time has been such a rare luxury. I’ve been racing around doing pickups and drop-offs, juggling work and single parenting. Always worrying. Always wishing for a little more sleep. The thought that I can “take a moment” is both scary and exhilarating. I’m still too exhausted to fully process it. But, I will be celebrating Cade’s success at his graduation on May 22nd. I kind of feel like it’s my graduation day, too. We made it.
Our dojo Summer Schedule starts on June 4th. Morning classes are back and Friday Fun-days, too. Our summer bootcamp starts on June 9th. Let’s have some good, old fashioned summer fun this year. School’s OUT, people!
