Ah, Friday. Including today, we’re looking at four more days of school until summer officially begins. To say I am looking forward to it would be an understatement.
Sleeping until 8am? Day trips to Grandma’s pool? Hopping in the car at a moment’s notice to get ice cream at the beach? Oh, yeah, I am all over that stuff.
In the meantime, I’ll do my best not to wish away all of the time between now and next Wednesday. Wish me luck.
