On Patience...or not

Is this week going slowly for anyone else?  Can it really still be Tuesday?  Was yesterday only Monday?  Good grief.  What can I do to get some time to go by around here?  I feel like I'm forty weeks and a day pregnant.  I feel like I'm on the last quarter mile of a marathon.  I feel like I have two weeks left of my senior year in high school.  I feel like I've got twenty miles to go on a cross-country road trip.  I feel like there's a month until I turn twelve and can get the heck out of primary.  Let it end I say!  Let it end!

Ol' spouse-who's-packed-up should be home any day now. 

I put the kids to bed a half-hour early tonight.  The only thing they know about bed time is that it happens when it is dark outside.  It gives me a distinct power advantage.  I put them to bed early so I could go to bed early so tomorrow would come faster.  I hope it works.

JessicaP,

Here's hoping your Wednesday has brought you the-spouse-that-is-gone-somewhere back safe and sound. And that the feeling every teacher feels the last day of the school year in June when the clock slows down to the speed of molasses and the summer break seems light years away has ended with his arrival.

Ha Ha! This made me smile - so fun to hear the teacher's perspective.
