OMG, I am starting to feel physically exhausted. I am doing fine, cheerful, life is good, but I am so fecking tired, I cannot tell you. And I know why. I call it the Finish Line In Sight Syndrome… I have one more week at the office to go through and then The Kid’s summer break is starting. Friday July 10 will be his last day of school in this 2nd to last year at Junior school. In about 7 weeks from now he will be starting his last year there.
So the last few weeks before summerbreak are SO busy. All kinds of special school activities that require extra lunchboxes, weird schedules, juggling pre-/post-school care. We also had to fit in a visit to the dentist last week and a visit to Pediatrics Cardiologist (Thursday). And of course all of my bosses are off to Boston (bitches!) and after that on summer break as well, so the office can pretty much be described as a hell hole right now. Loads to be finished before everyone is off. Sigh… One more week…
And then I am at least OUT of the office for 3 weeks. The first three weeks of his summer break The Kid is spending with me. I will have to work intermittently, on both my jobs, but at least I am away from the office and can allow myself some flexible work hours. With any luck I won’t have to go in at all during those weeks. The Kid and I will be hauling our butts to EuroDisney in Paris for a few days in the first week he’s off and other than that our activities depend on weather and available money (yah, uh huh).
But ok, for now, my body is slowly but gradually telling me to come to a halt. I can hardly stay awake in the p.m.. My head is filled with all kinds of stuff that needs to be done before it’s finally Saturday July 11. I am restless and exhausted at the same time. But I am good: soon I can relax and not have to go IN to the office for 3 weeks, spend time with The Kid, see Mickey and Minnie, and hopefully relax a bit!
Now… if I can only just hang on till Saturday… That’s only 5 days… That’s just 120 hours… just 7.200 minutes… just 432,000 seconds… 431,999.. 431,998… 431,997… see… getting less and less already… moving closer!
Hang in there! You can do it!

I only get called by or called into work about 1/4 of the time I’m off. It used to be every time.
Thursday night I worked late. The only reason that’s notable is that we were off Friday and people were trickling out by afternoon. Prior to Thursday I’d not worked that late in months.
It sounds like you and The Kid have some fun things coming up. We’ll all be looking forward to pictures of EuroDisney.
