Summer is nearly over.
The running around of summer… not quite.
When I got out of bed this morning my intent was to start getting back into my school year routine. Get all my ducks in a row and get motivated to get moving… now I am wanting to crawl back into bed and hide. I was sitting sipping my coffee and a certain young lady saunters over and we get to talking. I found out that we have a little different idea about what we should be doing during these last precious moments of summer.
The kids and I have different thoughts in regards to what the last few weeks of summer should be. I think I need to start back to a schedule and get focused on what this school year will hold for us. The kids are thinking they need to squeeze the very last drop of summer out of the days that are slipping past them.
What does that mean…
it means that I need to:
do school shopping
arrange all of the appointments we need to have done before we are fighting with school schedules…
it means I am tired (just thinking about it all) and I want to hide away with my family and just enjoy the calm before the storm
it means the kids want to:
go to the beach,
have sleepovers,
watch movies,
stay up late,
sleep in later,
run around my back yard conducting “science experiments”,
go to Busch Gardens,
go camping,
go shopping for everything BUT school paper,
it means
ultimately…
I will not be hiding away in my house.
I will be jumping into the school year AND finishing up the summer at the same time…
