Give me a break | pad patter 5.21.18

Mmm kit kat! We still have about 3 more weeks of school- so the kiddos aren't quite over it- but I think I am! I'm so ready to have a few lazy days! lol!

 

I have a Snickers bar in my desk right now!
I am so done with the everyday scramble. It won't be much better in summer though. Last year my mom took care of them. This year they're in 4 different summer programs. At least there isn't homework. And both kids have completed all their stuff for scouts as of yesterday!

 

We just need Crew to end. Seriously. My kid has no life. This sport sucks every last bit of life and time out of her.
My Sr. is done too.
Technically they have about 5 weeks left of school - but the last 2 weeks are Regents exams and they only go in for a test on one or two days. So really they have about 3 weeks left.

We.are.SO.ready.for.SUMMER!!!!

 

My daughter's last day is Thursday! She's definitely counting down the days!

 

I broke my kids heart with school this morning! He's excited that the school kids are done Thursday. And I burst his bubble reminding him that we homeschool through the summer too. It's homeschool light, but he was disappointed anyway! So I had to remind him of all the times that he didn't have school when the others did.

 

I'm struggling with getting myself going these days. There is no tired like end of the year teacher tired!! Chance is done, too. We have 13 more school days...I think I can, I think I can....

 

I kick'em in the butt.....ROFL!!!! No, they haven't been struggling lately. I think they're excited it's almost over so they're in that "happy" stage that they know it's just about done so might as well get it over with.

 

Yes! My daughter has a science fair project due this week that I'm so ready to be done with!

Not counting today, she has 8 more days of school. I'm not looking forward to our childcare fees doubling for the next couple of months but I'm hoping her being at the babysitter's will help my son with going there, too. He has been there since February but has been crying as I drop him off every day for the last 2 weeks.

 

My highschooler had her testing last month. Middle schooler had testing last week. 3 more have testing tomorrow. Then we are taking a little break. But we do a little school throughout the summer.

We are all ready for a change of pace!

 

My two boys are done on June 6th, so I haven't counted the days just yet... I'm sure they have. But they don't seem to be struggling too much yet. They are looking forward to the end some, but they also miss seeing their friends every day in the summer too. It's going to be an interesting summer for us because my 14 year will go to high school next year and is going to try out for the soccer team in the fall. From what I'm told, practices will start at the end of June, so I'm not sure exactly what to expect as far as timing and frequency of practices.

 

My daughter starts exams this Thursday for 2 weeks and is so looking forward to it. Seems weird, but she is tired of the long days and all of the homework. We only break up the 22nd of June for 3 weeks so that is a way off.

 

My kids are so ready for summer. Usually come Spring Break they are over school. lol
I always look forward to the break from putting lunches together. Such an easy task but I'm over it.

 

3 days left!! I am soooo ready. This year has been really tough on my youngest (3rd grade) as there has been such a ridiculously heavy emphasis on standardized testing. But we made it - just parties for the rest of the week.

I homeschooled my older two this year and it has been really rich in terms of our relationships, but I am seeing that my oldest really needs the structure of school. As of now the plan is for everyone to go back next year, which will make for a crazy year as they will be attending 3 different schools - elementary, middle, and high. Yikes!

But for now...bring on the summer!

 

We've still got 2 more months of school before the summer break starts. We have a 1/2 term one week break next week, which we are all looking forward to.

 

My son is done Thursday and hubby is "done" Friday (he's a teacher so he's never really done - just starts again for the following year). I know my son is ready for summer, but he's a 5th grader this year so next year he'll be switching into middle school. I'm NOT ready for that quite yet but I am looking forward to the other opportunities and activities that he'll have.
My daughter doesn't fully know the concept of summer break except that the guys are home all day with her. I don't look forward to the tantrums that might come with the change in routine!
Anyways, break me off a piece of that kit kat bar!

 

Kids have to go school for 7 more weeks, we just had our spring break.
My own summerbreak starts in 10 weeks, really looking forward to that!
