Relaxing Summer?

I thought summer was supposed to be relaxing.  I guess I thought wrong.  Or someone has forgotten to inform my kids.  We have been going non-stop since they got out of school a few short weeks ago.  NON STOP.  And I'm exhausted.  EXHAUSTED! 

My house is a mess, my blog is being ignored, my wallet is empty, but my kids are happy.  Better yet, they haven't killed each other yet. 

But I have a dream.  A dream of lying on the beach with a book in hand. The kids will be home with their daddy and I will not have a care in the world.  Maybe I'll bring along a girlfriend or two for a little conversation. Or, perhaps I'll fly solo so I won't feel so guilty when I put that book aside and close my eyes for a little nap.  I vow I am making this dream come true before the summer is over.  I need at least one day of relaxation this summer!

  1. Can I intrude into your dream because that sounds heavenly to me? I kept thinking "I can't wait until school is out." Now I'm saying "I can't wait until school starts." Maybe my husband is right -- I'm impossible to please. ;)

  2. I just want to say B that I feel exactly the same way! We are so crazy busy in the summer. And we spend money out the wazoo : ) I am happy the kids are happy though. Gosh I love those little buggers! Hope you get your day of rest soon! Crossing my fingers for you : )
