IT’S OVER!!!!!!
A lot has happened this school year. And just when I didn’t think it could get any worse, it did. It may not have happened in my city…or my state for that matter…but it happened.
Having a child(ren) in school comes with its own share of unknowns. You start off the year with a new teacher. You pray your child likes the teacher, and you pray even harder that YOU like the teacher. Then, you worry about your child making friends, learning all the things, and keeping away from the petri dish of germs they are surrounded by daily. There is a laundry list of more stuff to worry about. The biggest worry, was just made a reality for the Uvalde community. I’d like to pause, just to create a moment of silence for all of those impacted by this terrible tragedy…

I ain’t gone lie, I thought about pulling my kids from school for the few days left in the school year. I didn’t want them to miss out on the fun activities, but I also didn’t want to risk sending my two hearts out there into this world after such an event. I let them finish, clearly. But it took all I had!
Today, I set out to celebrate the journey. It was that much more special to get to this day, and it warranted alllllllll the things…balloons, window chalk, streamers, disco lights, and loud music! We were more excited than the kids…
While Things 1 and 2 were not super thrilled by all of the fanfare, I hope they look back on this day and smile…despite the fact that Thing 1 vowed to walk home in the rain because of the loud music, and Thing 2 could not enjoy the streamers and music because she was too busy crying. #BetterLuckNextYear
