It is all bitter sweet…
I should be so excited that summer is right around the corner, right? Well I’m not. It is that time of year again where school is coming to an end, and I am filled with so many different emotions. My kids will bring home all their books and past artwork (some of which I have never seen!), some will be recycled while most will be put away in our memory boxes. To me, the beginning of the school year always signals a fresh new start, a new year with the anticipation of new memories that I will ultimately cut and paste into my children’s school albums. It is the end of the school year that I have a problem with.
The end of the year signals another year gone by too quickly, children growing up and me wondering if I should have volunteered more or why I missed that class performance. Time has slipped by too quickly yet again and I find myself wondering where the year went! Tears flow from regret, from sadness, from happiness, and from how blessed I feel to be a mom to two such awesome kids. Yes, I am the mom picking up her children on the last day of school with tears flowing down her cheeks while the kids are shrieking for joy and wondering why I am crying. It is all bitter sweet.

The fact that you can describe your kids as awesome means you’re doing a super duper job as a mom. That you’re also able to raise them that way while running a very successful business, is nothing less that admirable. That you still have the emotions to feel the way you do despite all the hard work that goes into being great at both roles, is a sign that you’re a perfectionist but also that you’re a magnificent human being who is truly alive and living life to its fullest… An that’s something worth celebrating

Now see I look forward to the last day of school because it means I have a whole summer of making memories with my children. I’m excited to say so long to the old and get onto all of the new and exciting stuff that is to come. Well, except in the case of last year when we were saying goodbye to the absolute best teacher on the face of this planet.
