The reference to Vikings and Irishman may have almost made me pee my pants laughing. Thanks for all the inspiration!

I don’t go to all the parties, and I also work full time. The parties are ridiculous in WilCo! I rush to the sign up just so I can get paper products. I happily say NO every year when asked to be a room parent or volunteer for “the board”. I’m proud to say I not once sat in the pick up line this year! #busforever

So what you’re saying is that it gets better? ;} We try to cherish every age but that stage sounds kinda nice, too. ;}

BAHAHAAH! SO funny! Yes, I think everyone with older kids always tell the ones with babies and toddlers to relish in the moment because it just gets harder. Better, but harder. It’s tough! And that insta-post is HILARIOUS. I can’t believe your kids are that big!

Every single word you wrote is true. And hysterical. And I am so very glad to be 61 years old without a school aged child in sight.

Every. Freaking. May. We are so done. Just done. I won’t even admit on the internet how many tardies and absences my kids have. At this point, we no longer care about straight As. We just need them to pass enough to complete 10th and 8th grade. lol I posted this on my instagram a few years ago and it still totally applies.

Hysterical! There’s something psychological about the final weeks. God bless the teachers!
