The last day of April

As I suspected it would, April flew by.    It wasn't a great month in terms of weather, so I'm hoping May is more spring like.  We've just had so much rain, so even the warmer days haven't given us much outdoor time.

We are almost at the end of the school year...just 16 days after today!  Since I'm not filling in permanently, there should be several days off at this point.  In fact, I'm not scheduled for tomorrow so maybe it will be one!  I'm trying not to wish away the next three weeks though.  I think about the woman I wrote about last week who has been diagnosed with metastatic cancer.  Each day that passes is one day less she has left to spend with her children.  At the same time, that ultimately is true of any of us.  We just have less of an idea about when the end will come.  I want to treasure each day that I get to spend with my kids.  Honestly though, the summer days of no school are much easier to treasurer!
