Seems fitting to be ending this school year with a full moon

In about 18 hours, the school year will officially be over.  I'm looking very forward to quieter days and fewer hours.  Honestly, this year has been so, so challenging in my personal life, and it's made the year hard.  We've also had nearly 25% of our families in crisis during the year.  Some crises weren't overly serious, but some were life altering for families.  Caring about them the way we do is emotionally draining.

There was a chance of rain tomorrow that would mean we would only be working a half-day, and the family picnic would be canceled.  Honestly, that is what we were hoping for, although I told everyone not to get hopes up.  Two years ago it was the same forecast, and then when it was a beautiful day we were all grumpy.  It's just draining to have to socialize for hours.  Sure enough, the rain chances are pretty much eliminated, and we'll be working essentially a full day, including the picnic.  It seems very fitting that there is a full moon tonight to end this year.
