It's four weeks today until school lets out.
Kids all look forward to summer. Mine, too. But this summer is not going to be a fun one. They just don't know it yet.
I told K I was leaving a week ago last Monday. But we're not telling the kids until they get out of school. If we told them before, the rest of the school year would be washed out. Grades would drop. They'd lose all focus.
So instead, here I wait, like a thief in a Santa Claus suit, ready to steal their summer.
Oh, if I could leave before then, I would. I would.
It's going to be a very long four weeks for all of us.
