Today is my son D's last day of 2nd grade. He will be done in 2 minutes. I am happy that he is out of school for the summer, but it got me to thinking....

Grown-ups got totally HOSED!!!!! Well, unless you are a teacher, then we are all jealous.

I remember going to school and thinking how rough I had it. I had to go to school for an entire 180 days of the year. I lived for Christmas break and summer break when I could sleep in and chill and play with my friends.  I would count the hours (the entire 6.5) and would be so happy when the bell rang to leave thinking to myself that I couldn't wait until I was a grown-up so that I wouldn't have to go to school

WHAT WAS I THINKING???????? I WISH that I could go back to elementary school days when the hardest thing that I had to do was learn to write cursive and basic algebra. Not only did I have to be there for a shorter time than a real job, but I got a hot lunch provided for me and a playground where I could go to the tire swing or play tetherball or 4-square. Heck, they even provided the balls and the jump ropes for double dutch.

Now, I work 8 hours per day stuck in an office. Definitely no playground here or hot lunch unless I buy it or nuke it. I do get paid, but I also have more bills than I can count on 2 hands the worst part....... only 3 weeks of vcation per year.

Three stinkin' weeks. What happened to 3 months? The only thing that I can think of is that when I was a kid I must have been smoking crack to want to grow up.
I wish that I was in 3rd grade again!!! Even with Jesse Ward calling me Greyhound Bus even though I was a stick.

Third grade was great. I learned to write in cursive, had the longest lunch period, won the grade spelling bee had an awesome teacher.  It was a good time in my life. Good times too!!
