Baseball games twice if not three times a week. Lots of rain. Chores from our chart getting done. Open gym for middle school basketball tryouts. 2 nieces birthdays. A trip to a scrapbooking store and out to lunch with my BFF. A lot of blonde in my hair. A basketball tournament. A graduation party. A movie date with Doug. A sleepover for Kate's birthday with her 3 BFFs. A trip to see Transformers--there were 15 of us. A baby shower. A going away potluck for our Pastor. I0 books. 5 scrapbook layouts. At least 2 trips to the pool a week. Zach got his first cell phone--Kate her second-with a keyboard-for her birthday next week. This was our June.
July will be hectic for us too. But this summer I am not freaking out about being busy--this is our life--and in this moment we are busy. We say yes to whoever asks us first, say thanks but no to anything more than we can do and that's what it is. We are headed to St. Louis at the end of next week for a mini vacation. We are going to watch the fireworks on the river, take a trip to Grant's Farm and the Science Center, and hope to see an old friend and her family while we are down there and we will finish it all up with a trip to see Zach's diabetes doctor. He's been doing better than last time at keeping his blood sugars in the normal range. Good for him.
After we get back from St. Louis--I have one day to do all our laundry, plus go into work for a few hours to help the new pastor get ready for Sunday's service then BFF and I are headed to Florida for a few days for a little girls time out. We plan to do some scrapbooking, lay by the pool, drink a few margaritas and relax a lot from our everyday lives. I am taking a couple books and a couple magazines. Dawn sleeps later than I do--I can get some reading done. Some more reading done.
Before I know it summer will be gone and I will be wondering where it went.
