After this week, only one full week of classes left.  Then finals.  Then 3 weeks of collaborative meetings.  Of those 3 weeks of meetings, I have found childcare coverage for 6 days.  It will have to do.

I understand how students could be having difficulty keeping up the momentum during the final weeks of the semester.  I know I am certainly ready to wind down.  H is also gearing up for the end of his school days at his first school.  We’re all ready to be done…we’re just marking days off the calendar at this point.

Today I am stuck at home.  My car is in the shop for some undefined problem it started having this week.  Crossing my fingers that it’s not going to be too expensive.  I’ve spent my day replying to e-mails, reserving rooms for student experiments, doing the reading for my class, previewing videos for my class, prepping for class, etc.  Also, doing laundry and tidying up.  Soon, I will set out with the stroller and walk to H’s school to pick him up.  Not a bad day, I guess.

But it will be nice to finally have summer days with H again.  I simply cannot wait!
