Words written on Instagram on that day…

LAST DAY OF 2nd grade!!! We took these to capture the last day of “school”! Which was over a week ago… But…I couldn’t get my act together to think of words I wanted to say…so, I’m delayed in posting.
🙈
The last few months have been…
😳😬
Joy. Laughter. TEARS (me). Learning. Growth. TEARS (me) Laughter.

SURVIVING!!! (BOTH OF US!) Maya has been a complete ROCK STAR! I’m SO proud of how she’s handled this time. She is 100% on board with WHY we need to be more protective, and if I’m honest…she’ s more vigilant that I am! Yet… Seeing so many friends on play dates every time we go out for walks…
😥😥
Me telling her she still needs to do learning when we get home. (Ok, not now that it’s summer, but I’m playing catch up!) I miiiiiiight still be the mom that says she still needs to read and play learning apps while I get shit done… SUMMER!
😬
It has been hard. I hate being the bad guy.
🙈
I’ve always been a bit of a mix. I’m strict with certain things, but FUN…I’m ALL IN-to my detriment at times!! Our lives were all about racing from thing to thing!! Honestly, it was a bit much…. Yet, now…all that has been taken off the table.
😩
I don’t know what the summer will hold.
🙈
BUT…I hope it includes some fun, laughter, and…maybe not bubbles!

They are kinda annoying!! 🤣🤣#LKKeepingitReal

Ok, the bubbles SOUNDED like a good idea… In reality, they just went everywhere and popped on us making us soaking in bubble soap after about 5 minutes!

They sure did LOOK pretty tho haha.
