What a busy week! All three kids end school today, and it's meant that there have been an inordinate amount of extra errands to run and activities to do over the past few days.

Bob is probably the happiest about ending his academic year; he's delighted to be moving on and even more delighted that he won't be harangued about getting ready and out the door every morning at 7:25. Emme seems split on the whole issue; she really likes school (when she's not having a psychotic episode), so she's torn between missing what's familiar and looking forward to what's new. And James more or less lives in the moment -- he knows that his preschoool ends today, but I don't think he's really *parsed* it yet.

Me, I'm enjoying my last few moments of peace and quiet as today's the last day I'll be able to work in the living room and enjoy some fresh air without having the children trampling around and yelling at each other.
