The End Is Near

Posted by ZenMom Wednesday, May 19, 2010

I know what you're thinking.  Here goes yet another Armageddon-like doomsday prediction.

Nope.  Not exactly.  It may be the end of my world, but yours should be just fine.  Unless you have a preschooler that is.

Today, when I dropped off the Stinker at preschool, I went to sign up for Wednesday Lunch Bunch as usual.  Too bad there were no sign up sheets.

And then it hit me.  This is THE last week of preschool before summer break.  Its filled with field trips and water days and other fun stuff, so no enrichment for the little ones.

This will truly rock my world.  Gone will be my 2 1/2 hours of bliss...usually spent running around like a crazy lady trying to accomplish at least a few of the millions of things I need to get done sans a four-year-old.

And my five hour stretches?  I guess I can kiss those goodbye until sometime in late August too.

I am taking some deep cleansing breathes right now to ward off the stress, but something tells me its a losing battle.  In the meantime, I'll be repenting for all the sins I will be committing over the next couple of months...before its too late.

Enjoying my last days of freedom,

I know - I never understood why parents would dread summer... until now.

BTW - I talk about you in my post today. Because you had me at "Zen..."

Oh, how well I remember that feeling. At my stage, I look forward to summer when the 2 in college come home and I get to see them as they dash in and out.

Two words: "play dates." Swap play dates with another trustworthy mom of a classmate of his. Drop off play dates.
lol. sometimes I am thankful that I am a working outside of the home mom...but summer gives me grief even though I am NOT home with my kids...

I always have a rosy view of what my summers will be like with my kids, but like you, I come back to reality...

I have a preschooler, too, and lament the fact that two and a half hours really isn't that long...I've had to deduct travel time each way and, really, not much is left. Her preschool this year was strictly half day. Yuck!
Hi. Nice post you got here today. I guess, parents can never get away with stress for a long time. :-) We should merely accept the fact that rest and relaxation are something we can't enjoy on a day-to-day basis. :-) But, just the mere sight of our precious little angels can give us so much heaven, and that alone is worth everything.
