It seems surreal....is tomorrow really day 180?
Not being in the classroom has changed my perception of the last day of school just a little....the excitement has not set in yet...hopefully by morning I will feel the summer break excitement....
I feel like I have run around for weeks trying to accomplish everything that needs to be "accomplished" before this BIG day tomorrow....and I did encounter a few minor road blocks along the way....you know like hitting a parked car in the WIMS parking lot on Friday and having an absolute meltdown before the day was complete......BUT THEN
Today as I was rushing around with the hustle and bustle of it all.....I walked into WIMS and there was that smell that hits me every time I walk in the commons area....the smell of 8th grade and how life has changed and grown immensely since 8th grade, but yet the smell is still the exact same....
And then onto WIHS.....and the screen out front reads LAST DAY JUNE 11TH.....this place and that date are a complete circle for me....tomorrow is our 9th wedding anniversary....and WIHS is where is all began.....
And then onto Scotts....and although Monticello is not one of schools (my former elementary school)....Scotts has a special place too....I played softball on the fields behind the school for years....I made a little time in my insane schedule to sit with Bryson's class this afternoon...and be a 2nd grader again!! All the kids had excitement beaming from their faces...the energy is unstoppable...to be a kid again and tomorrow be the last day of school and Thursday the first day of summer!!!
So although I have been in a complete fog....and not all things are completely tied up at the moment....today was a jump start day to all the excitement ahead...the summer adventures, the late nights of useless tv, the sleeping in (you know past 7am), the fun and memories that are straight ahead....and yet it all comes back to the small circle that I traveled today....on the west side!!
I hope everyone has an excellent, exciting, fantastic LAST day of school....ENJOY....time flies
Much Love, Alysha
