I have no idea why or how it happens but after Memorial Day, I lose all motivation to deal with my daughter and school. You see New York public school students are literally the last kids in school in the entire country. Even the private school adjourn by the middle of June.
Throughout the year, it goes without saying that I am always checking up on my daughter’s homework situation.
“What’s the homework?
“Where’s the homework?”
“Have you finished the homework?”
Annoying right, you would think she would just get it done, so she doesn’t have to listen to my broken record of questions. Maybe it’s because she doesn’t know what a record player is.
But with one month to go, I lose all passion for the routine! The daily checking of the back pack for important notices, the constant drilling of questions. UGH. I am tired.
At this point, she’s lucky she gets a packed lunch. I probably forget to make a lunch at least twice a week and she is reduced to eating school lunch. Sorry, kid.
And I’m sure like every year at this time, I will forget that there is a half day and have to cab it down to pick her up from the school office.
So here’s to June 26, yes June 26, the last day of school.

Omg! yes, we have lost my sons’ planner, I can’t wait for June 26th either. We are Upstate.
