CMS folks…one.more.week. We can do this. We can do hard things. And this feels REALLY hard right now when neighbor kids are out of private schools, preschool kids are out, and I cannot possibly pack one more lunch! This is the week that we need to say BIG thank yous to our teachers and staff, because you know they are T.I.R.E.D. So many fun things to make this week go by quick, including lots of weekly summer programs at area museums. We’ve got this, y’all.
