I get off work at noon today, so I'm glad it starts at 12:15 and I don't have to use personal time to get there. I'm sure that is was planned that way to work with other parents' lunch breaks. I was worried though, because after the ceremony and lunch, I plan on going home. Without Benjamin. I need a nap and so does he. And he won't nap at home anymore. So I prepared him ahead of time and said, "Mommy isn't staying after the program. You will stay at school with your friends and Mommy has to leave."

| My silly graduate! |
I don't know if I'll actually get a nap because I've got tons of other stuff to get done, but I do need a few moments to myself at home. Chores are harder one-handed and I was already behind before the bike accident. My arm is feeling a lot better, but I'm keeping the brace on a little longer just to be sure.
At work, we've had inventory and end-of-the-year spending to get done as well. I thought things were slowing down, but in reality it turned out to be a brief break before they ramped up again. I've been doing tons of walking around, hunting for stuff, and lots of extra typing to get new technology things ordered with this year's budget. My brain has been extra full!!
The more I think about it, the more I'm pretty sure I'm going to aim for a nap today after graduation. After a hard

Aw, congrats to Benjamin and we have Lily's pre-school graduation on June 17th now. Oh and I hope you do get a nap today!! :)
ReplyDeleteI had a nap once -- it was after surgery and that was decades ago. :) Will there be a little tear in your eye as you realize this is the first graduation of many?
ReplyDeleteI definitely think you should nap! You deserve it!
ReplyDeleteA preschool graduate! Hooray! Kinder for him next year :) I hope you get a nap and that arm of yours gets better, I am heading that way right now as the toddler just went down for a nap. Here's to hoping she stays asleep for a good long while!
ReplyDeleteDid you get a nap? I hope you got one!
ReplyDeleteI hope you're napping right now! Congratulations to your son for preschool graduation - so so adorable! Thanks much for linking up with Finish the Sentence.
ReplyDeleteI hope you got your nap and that things clam down soon!
ReplyDeleteI took a nap today actually!! Hope you did too.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Benjamin! Scarlet graduated preschool last June and it was ON Des' birthday. Man, that was a day that needed a nap, if any days needed a nap.
Glad your arm is on the mend! And congrats to Benjamin! Honestly I'd take alone time at home as well. They're so rare! And I doubt I'd nap either and probably just enjoy being alone without kids!
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing like a nap - especially one when you can be home alone to enjoy it! Congratulations to Benjamin!
ReplyDeleteGraduation from pre-school is a big deal! I remember both "graduations" from my two boys. A milestone -- they're getting ready for kindergarten which is a big jump for little kids. Best of luck with your little one, and hope that you enjoyed your nap!
ReplyDeleteOh please tell me you did actually nap!
ReplyDeleteGood job Benjamin! And to you too. Didn't know about the bike accident but I'm happy to hear you've recovered. Hope you get the much needed nap. ;)
ReplyDeleteNot much of a nap, but I got a little bit of rest.
ReplyDeleteThis is the last pre-school graduation. I did tear up a little with the memory slide show.
ReplyDeleteI love naps! I wish I could take them more often!
ReplyDeleteBen is so excited for Kindergarten! It's practically all he talks about!
ReplyDeleteNot much of one, but I tried!
ReplyDeletePre-school graduation is pretty darn adorable! :)
ReplyDeleteThings don't calm down, they just turn to a different kind of crazy! I like the variety!
ReplyDeleteI've managed naps on the really bust days a few times. We had one glorious Saturday a few weeks ago where everyone napped!
ReplyDeleteI missed it this week, but I am determined to get a break this Friday. It's my last chance for along time!
ReplyDeleteI'm a big fan of naps! I wish my kids didn't fight them so hard!
ReplyDeleteHe is so excited for Kindergarten! It's practically all he talks about!
ReplyDeleteBarely. :( Maybe another time!
ReplyDeleteThe bike accident has been a disaster. I'm feeling a lot better, but I'm still afraid to use my wrist too much!
