Where has the time gone?! How is it possible that we are already at the end of the last full week in July? JULY is almost over!!! August is a blink away. I don't understand where this year has gone to. They say time flies when you are having fun. Well, whoever "they" are, they are certainly right! I completely get what they mean.
These days we are all about having fun. Work is good, Life is good. I'm loving my work life. Days are crazy busy, work is hectic, but I'm still LOVING it. I love the work, love my boss, love my coworkers. These ten hour days of mine just whip on by most of the time. I stay busy, the work is fun and interesting. Some days I'm frustrated or worried that I won't get it all done but everyone has days like those and we all make it through just fine.
Life is good. We are spending lots of quality time together as a family. If we're not camping, we're at the beach. If we're not at the beach, we're having fun with friends. This is what it's all about. I love the long days because I feel like we get to make the most of every minute. The kids are having fun with Papa while John and I are at work. They're out running about, on their bikes, playing outside or they go over to Kellie's house to swim in the pool some days. He keeps them busy!
I cannot BELIEVE that it's almost back to school time for them. In just under 5 weeks the boys go back to school. Aidan will start 2nd grade and Ryan will start 1st grade. Erynn will go into her second year of
Pre-K the following week. (WHEN did they decide to have kids start school before Labor Day by the way?! This never happened when I was a kid and I think it's terrible. It's totally screwing up my long weekend camping plans!) It's almost time to get them back into a bedtime routine......getting lunches and backpacks ready, laying out school clothes. I'm so not ready for that. I wish I could stay home and keep them home with me! But, then again, I'll be back volunteering in their classes on Friday's since I'm off so that will be fun too. We know Erynn got Mrs. Cicci for her teacher (which she is VERY excited about) but we won't find out who the boys have until August 20th when they put the list up on the school doors. I wish there was a better system for this but there isn't.
Tonight starts another "glamping" weekend. Not sure how glamourous it's going to be as it's supposed to rain all weekend. Although, you know, I'm okay with the 5 of us all cozied up in the camper in the rain. I can handle that. The kids can still swim at the indoor pool. I can get some quality time with the stack of books piling up on my nightstand.........when I get some time to read I can whip through books like nobody's business. It's just FINDING the time. This weekend might be the perfect opportunity. You know what, either way, it will be the five of us spending more quality time together as a family and we're blessed to be able to do so! So I'll just leave it at that. :-)
