Last day of school fail

So yesterday was the last day of school. 

Usually this day is met with glee and exaltation by me. 

See, my minions are all late sleepers. 

They are such late sleepers that I've thought about homeschooling. 

But then I would have to learn whether homeschooling is spelled homeschooling or home schooling.

It's a dilemma.

But this year...

See, he is changing schools next year. 

He is leaving my school and changing to my husband's school.

And it's making me all nostalgic. 

And antsy.

And I'm not usually antsy.

I don't do antsy.

Here is Mrs Wolfe. 

That's was his teacher this year.

He was so excited when he found out he was going to have her.

Apparently she has a voice that "sounds nice."

She is holding a special goodbye card from all his classmates. 

I was afraid he would be upset and cry. 

Not so much. 

Me on the other hand?

Cried like a baby!

I put my sunglasses on and tried to act busy. 

I hate crying!

Why would anyone enjoy it?

Sometimes I hear people say how cathartic it is. 

Why would something that results in a stuffy nose be cathartic?

After I cry I feel sick for hours. 

When we left the eight year old said "Why are you crying?"

I said "I just want you to have a great experience at school like I had. I'm just a little nervous about next year."

He immediately asked me for my iPhone. 

I thought:

"Oh! He is going to text Billy! He is going to tell him I'm crying. That is so sweet!"

I handed him the phone and a few minutes later asked him what he was doing.

"Just playing Oregon Trail."

 Oh. 

Alrighty.

So, I pretty much failed at the last day of school.

On the same day that we had our last day of school we signed the papers to put our house on the market. 

Maybe we should have staggered those two events?

Yep. I'm pretty sure we should have.

It's okay though.

First world problems and all that stuff.

God has a plan and all that stuff.

Speaking of God...

Spiders...

Yes, they eat mosquitoes.

And that's good.

But these guys...

They are scary.

They are big. 

They bother me. 

 But...

They don't worry about where they are sending their kids to school.

And hey!

They are way more productive than me.

Have you seen those webs?

They are actually pretty cool.

So, what is the lesson for today?

Be like the spider.

So reader, what first world problems are you worrying about today?
