Second Gradeitis??

Well, I didn't know this particular epidemic existed - but I am here to tell you it is real.  You may have heard of senioritis, you may have even experienced it; but, second gradeitis is just as intense.  It starts about three weeks before the end of the school year.  The talk centers around summer, our hopes, our dreams, our plans, etc.  By the next week the talk intensifies and mom even begins to show signs of second gradeitis.  Mom starts wondering why the teacher is sending home homework and still demanding the planner be signed - after all, there is only two weeks left of school!  Then other parents start to fall in the trap and before you know it sleepovers are granted - what, before school is even out?  The harsh rule of taking a minimum of three showers per week is relaxed and some nights swimming replaces a shower.  I'll tell you, we have it bad - not sure who is worse, mom or Nathan....
