Spitting Distance

We are within spitting distance of the end of the school year.  I can see it from here.  (Literally.  May just came up on my digital calendar.) 

It’s almost the end and I’m hitting homeschool burnout in a serious fashion.  I really just want to stay in bed to day and read a good book.  That’s not happening.  The fog and gray skies are not helping my lethargy at all.  Can I just declare today to be national “Mom Needs a Nap Day”?  No?  You’re no fun.

My eldest son must be feeling it, too.  He just can’t keep his mind on school this afternoon.  Every time I glance in his direction he’s either daydreaming or has wandered off.  How much trouble would I be in if I just tied him to his chair until he finally finished? 

The 14 year old is dragging her way through her last chapter of Algebra II.  Who can blame her? Except….can you just finish it already?  We have other things to do.  Fun things.  Summer is almost here things.

Instead it’s nasty and cold outside and we all just want to hibernate.  I can see the end of the school year.  It’s so close…..I can almost taste the freedom and the lazy days.  It’s just not close enough. 

I’m not a fan of this time of year.
