Random Rambling

Kid's last day of 5th grade is tomorrow, and I have a LOT of big feelings about her being done with elementary school. Her school has been such a great community for us through the years, starting with covid kindergarten through now. Volunteering there has let me get to know the office staff and teachers and I'm going to miss that sense of belonging.

3 days of the school year left. I can do this.

We had 3 interns and a new hire start today and dear lord I am a dinosaur. I am ancient. These could all be my children. Literally. I’ve worked at the company longer than they’ve all been alive.

So my daughter's crush has turned into my daughter's girlfriend, in the meaningless way that 4th and 5th graders have, which is that they are girlfriends and play together on the playground and sometimes meet up to play at the park after school but that's it. It's cute and they're cute and I'm happy for her.

Kid had her very first soccer tournament this weekend, and my mom came to the last game. My sister was supposed to be there as a buffer, and she bailed like 30 minutes before we were supposed to meet up. I'm not surprised but it crushed my kid because she really wanted to see her cousins.
