I learned a new term (well, new to me) this month:
Maycember. If it isn’t obvious, Maycember is a combination of May and December.
It refers to the absolute mayhem that happens at the end of every school year.
This time of year, calendars are just as jam-packed as they are during the
holiday season, without the benefit of gift-giving, festive decorations, or the
cultural permission to slow down. So far, we’ve had two school band concerts, a
choir concert, a piano recital, a dance recital, an amusement park field trip, two
fund-raising carnivals, and several end-of-year farewell parties. As if that
wasn’t bad enough, some of these events occur at the same time on the same day,
so there’s literally no way to attend them all. The good news is summer break
starts a week from tomorrow. Then there’s a whole week of relative peace and
quiet before the summer musical starts.
