I guess only parents, teachers and kids can relate to the fact that the end of May or beginning of June is really like the year's end for us with school coming to a close. Wednesday is the last day of school for the Short People and it's much more like the ending of one thing and beginning of another than when the calendar year comes to a close in December. It's hard to describe all the activities and projects that go into closing out the school year--it's just something you have to experience for yourself. The parties, the picnics, the bringing old papers home...and we can't forget the moms getting together for one last breakfast together before we have our kids home all summer! You get the picture--it's been a little bit nuts around here. I'm living for Thursday...we'll see you then!
Depressing: Def., "Realizing that you and your Dearly Beloved are entirely to close to wearing the same pant size. Case in point - Hero Guy came ' har har-ing' out of the bedroom relating that he had accidentally been wearing a pair of my jeans for the last 15 minutes. He wondered why they felt so weird (translated - TIGHT) until he took them off and inspected the tag. He gloated that at least he knows he can fit into a Ladies Size ___ (you really think I'm going to tell you the number?!). My Observations: 1) He had a MONSTER wedgie, so the jeans were entirely too small for him. 2) They are my "fat" jeans, a size bigger than what I actually wear, but I just like the broken-in feeling of them. Or the roominess or something. 3) They were the stretchy kind of jeans, so an elephant could have painted itself into them. 4) What's he bragging about having a girlish figure for anyway? Not very macho if you ask me. Hmph.
