For a little while
anyway. With school out for the summer
break I usually tend to get a bit of a break of my own. Not that I truly get to sit about with my
feet up and take it easy, but the pace does tend to slow down some and I feel
like I can catch my breath.
My girls are still
busy as both of them have decided to do summer school, taking extra classes so
they can jump ahead. My oldest is
working full time until the latter part of July as an intern and fortunately it
is a paid internship so she can put away that money for college. For that I am extremely grateful. And I will be working full time, but also
putting in a lot of overtime in June as our company completes a huge expansion
project, our largest to date. Along with
that I have a project list as long as my arm that I will be working on until
the end of the year and well into 2019.
Despite all of that
I still feel like summertime offers me the opportunity to breathe. The days are lighter longer, I'm outdoors
more often. We seem to spend more time
with our friends and our neighbors. The
kids have more time to get their chores done and don't require my help. They also have more time to take on some of
mine. We don't create as much
laundry. Our meals are lighter and
easier to prepare most days too. It's
just a tad bit easier.
So I'll embrace
these next 2 months and enjoy them for what they are. Until the second week of August when band
camp begins for my oldest and cheer camp begins for my youngest. And then it all starts back up again.
I love summer.
I am actually going on vacation this summer - a week at the beach in a cottage with husband, daughter, two grandchildren. I am looking forward to getting away
