In the last waning days of school, after all the projects are completed and the standardized tests are taken, I have found that all of us in our household are more than ready for this school year to be over. It’s not that the routine is awful (I thrive on it!), but the wide open and warm, sunny days of summer are just beckoning to us with promises of relaxation and fun. My kids are having a hard time getting motivated and staying focused, but my mantra to them is still “Do your best!” I’d do well to remember that tidbit of advice myself. Happy Monday!
