We made it!

We made it through a whole bunch of things this week.  It was an incredibly long week.  My school put on a musical, and I worked over 40 hours in the process.  Everyone was just drained getting through today, but we finally made it to the end of the day, and we had made it through musical week!

We also had our final band concert this week, at least that we could watch.  Thomas will perform tomorrow at a music festival but we won't be there.  This week's performance was the steel band that he joined this year.  They held an outdoor performance at the Community Arts Center, and the weather could not have been more perfect.  It was truly a lovely way to begin our week.  We have officially made it through being band parents!

Tuesday was Thomas's final tennis match.  We didn't get to see a whole bunch of matches this year, but this particular match took forever.  The weather was still lovely though, and we've made it through tennis season!

Today Andrew's baseball team had a tournament game.  We were fairly certain it was not going to come out in our favor.  To be honest, I was kind of hoping that it was bad enough that it would be over in five innings.  They ended up losing by the run rule amount, but it still took seven innings to get it done.  I am not at all sad that baseball season is coming to an end and we made it through the season!

Other things are ending as well.  Tonight is Thomas's very last shift at his very first job.  He'll be off work for two weeks before the job starts at the city pool for the summer.  The university pool has been a good first job for him.  The college students are leaving town as the academic year is drawing to a close.  We've made it through another school year in that regard.

And of course, we are about to have a very, very big "last".  On Monday, it will be Thomas's last day of school.  The last day I ever have a child in a k-12 setting.  Oh my goodness, it's so hard to believe it's here.  Because Thomas had delays, he started school as soon as he turned three.  That means he had 12 years of school, plus Kindergarten, plus 2.5 years of preschool.  I remember when we learned that Thomas was going to qualify for the preschool at that time.  We realized he would be in school for 15.5 years, and that seemed as though it was forever.  Yet, here we are with just one day left.  It all happened so fast, in the blink of an eye!
