While this used to fill me with intense excitement, I’m not currently dancing. Unfinished web jobs, perfectionist-logo-design-expectations, and a tension headache. Hoping the kids sleep in a bit at least! To quote Bill Watterson, and the favorite comic book in this house … The Days Are Just Packed. Just wondering how to fit in quality time with the kids, cheescake baking, barbecue plans (amid forecasted 48 degree/rainy weather, please no!) and finding a way by hook or by crook to get to Columbus next week to spend a day with my Grandma. She’s 93, amazing, and one of the people I feel most fiercely about in this world. It doesn’t make economic sense, but it makes heart sense and life sense, so I plot. If I have to grit my teeth and survive 14 hours of greyhound each direction, I will. But I hope it doesn’t come to that!
Other than that, break will be here at home, with a possible trip to the circus. And playdates. And as little work as I can get away with :).
How are you/will you/did you spend yours??
Summer is upon us here in the Northeast U.S., in every sense of the word. Long hot days, short muggy nights, and oodles of things to choose from for entertainment. No matter where you live, the options are more abundant in summer, aren’t they? Concerts, water play, beaches, walks, fireflies, cookouts, hiking, sports … it’s the time to soak it all in. I find it easy to get lost in the day-to-day, and forget to plan some bigger things to look forward to.
