9 Signs You’re DONE with This School Year Already

I’m done with this school year. I admit it. And we aren’t even that close to the end of the school year. I started off well in August, limped to December and now am barely able to move myself forward to get to summer vacation. Can you relate?

My kids have 6 more weeks of school and then summer vacation reigns. I’d like to say I’m sprinting through the finish line. But I’m not. Not even close. I’m crawling down the last 100 meters, with my messy ponytail and worn out yoga pants, hoping to cross the tape.

While other moms are making (MAKING!) the cutest end of school year teacher appreciation gifts, I’m running around think “Wait…we are supposed to give them end of the year gifts?!???” I’m so done with this school year!

I see other moms coming early to the parties and bringing homemade baked goods. I come late, leave early, and only sign up for strawberries because that’s all I can safely commit to. I’m sure I forgot to give someone something, or pay someone back, or brig something in. (BTW, if that’s you…I’m sorry. It’s not you. It’s me.)

I’m an end of school year hot mess. Are you too? If these signs below sound familiar, you might be done with this school year too.

9 Signs You’re an End of School Year Hot Mess

1. You’re always late. Like ALWAYS.

2. You can’t sign anything anymore. You just…can’t.

3. You haven’t read 20 minutes a night with your 6 year old since Christmas. Ok, Thanksgiving.

4. You delete classroom sign ups and say you never got the email.

5. You don’t care if your kids wear matching socks. Or shoes even.

6. You tell your kids to make their raggedy backpack last another month even though the zipper is broke and there’s hole in the bottom. Umm…they shouldn’t have dragged it to the bus every morning…amiright?

7. You swear off PTA meetings. Sorry/Not Sorry.

8. You refuse to buy more pants so your kids are rocking the culotte trend. 

9. You stop caring what goes in your kids’ lunch boxes.

If you’re like me, then that’s great! We can be done with this school year together. And we will be at our A game again in August. Or well…at least a solid B- game by then. Wait…once this school year is over, the kids are home all summer??? #SummerCampsPlease
