Our pencils are nubs without erasers, the white-out is dried up, the kitchen drawer that houses paper, crayons, glue, stencils, graphing paper and other school supplies is loaded to the gills with everything but school supplies … overflowing … I just stuffed it all in there, cram it as best I can, and wedge it shut … ignoring it like the crazy attic its become. My home is a shambles — especially the playroom where every single good intention of mine to keep tiny toy pieces in separate bins has gone to pot. My home is a blender on high speed! Everything is mixed together now that it’s the end of the school year and I am giddily racing toward the last day of school for relief from the end-of-the-year push! Then I’ll have all summer long to get re-organized, re-sorted, re-structured and re-supplied for another school year. Come August we’ll be all tidied up and spic and span again but for now, I am dreaming of a blue summer … blue like the water of a swimming pool … just like the one I used to know!
