Next year, off to seperate classes again!

The last day of school was a super busy one for me. It wasn't all about the kids like it should have been. I did take them out to breakfast at McDonald's. They all chose something off the dollar menu and a drink. It's awesome how all drinks are just a dollar. They never get drinks so they were thrilled with the prospect. Even more then the food, they enjoyed romping around on the playground. I am trying so hard to allow my children to experience their childhood instead of forcing them to grow up sooner then they deserve. It's hard to not feel like people are wondering "what in the is that mother thinking", and allow them to scream and jump and act silly. They played for a super short minute and we all scrambled to the car to get to school on time. We made home in time for them to walk to school One Last Time. For Jaren, it will be the last time, since he's off to Junior High next year. Be still my heart. Each one complained all the way out the door.

After they left I went to breakfast myself, then to Walmart, then home again home again to mee the children dear. Right after school we ventured to Great Grandma's house to do some cleaning. After spending 2 hours of my precious time there it was home again home again to do cleaning of my own. I was stressed quite a bit since I had so much to do before my book club ladies came calling. The stress became too much and the storm screamed out of my mouth and the victims were my poor children. Lucky for them they all escaped to Jaren's baseball game with Dad. Unlucky for me, just two ladies showed up. All that work and fuss and stress for naught.

The last day of school should be filled with fun and carefree activities. It just came up on me faster then I expected. I blame the weather. It just doesn't feel like summer break weather. I knew it was coming, I could feel it in my bones. I will try and make it up to my kids with some great acitivities.
