I'm FREEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

I'm free. It's official, sanity has taken up residence in my brain once again. No more school, no more dance, no more circus, dance rehearsals, shows, school meetings, finals, learning records to fill out. No MORE! I am giddy with anticipation at what doing less will look like. My eyes have uncrossed. I don't think there are words to describe the complete feeling of elation at not being woken up by an alarm clock. And I didn't even sleep in BUT it was my choice. I can lounge around in my robe. Take my time doing my devotions.Bake. Make ice cream till my head pops off. Try new recipes AND be home for dinner to eat them. Read a book on the patio as the sun rounds the corner in the morning. I can *gasp* watch the morning news. Yes, all this and more is possible now that I am free. I exaggerate you say? Oh no, no trust me when I tell you May for home school moms brings the finish line into view. As of May 1st you just want to go to the light which in our case is May 31st. If your head wasn't attached it would literally pop off and float away. If I wasn't helping with a school final, an end of the year project, giving a test to my 4th grader. I was answering emails from my middle school kiddos teachers, racing to dance recital rehearsals, circus practice, dealing with costume issues for my ballerina. Wondering if the bathroom fairy was finally going to show up and clean because I was to busy and hoping that I could imagine dinner on the table and it would appear before we had to leave for a class. But that's all in the past. We kicked off our summer by heading to soak city and floated in the lazy river with not a care in the world. So AMAZING!!
