Act Your Age

Things have not been as they should be this summer. I am not saying that's bad, it's just the way it is. Something is just a bit off. We're way too busy. Always preoccupied. And there's a fantastic payoff for it, don't get me wrong. We'll have a new, bigger house that is completely accessible. Couldn't ask for a nicer blessing.

But we're tired. I have had to attend more family/friend events alone than I have since we were first married. And my poor husband is about run ragged.

The start of school is approaching and I'll be honest I generally look to that time of year with a little excitement. Long leisurely trips to the grocery store alone. Stolen time at Target wandering the aisles. Lunch dates with the love of my life. And a schedule is always good- we all function better when things happen on a regular time table. It's rather nice to know exactly what will happen and when.

This year is different. I don't look forward to the school year at all. I feel as though I have missed so much of this summer, I am just not ready to let it go.

So there may not be many entries in my blog for the next week- we're gonna play as much as possible. There will be plenty of ice cream, movies, games of Clue, and other childhood pleasures. That's a real benefit of being a parent, you know. Acting like a kid again.
