Friday was my first day of summer. Anna and I went out to lunch to an adorable new to us bakery type place for lunch. I had an appointment and I made a H U G E list of things that feel like they need attention right now in our home and yard!
After April break Scott and I just 'survive'. It's all hands on deck to make it to the last day of school and then when mid June rolls around we are itching to get some things done.
I am so thankful that he feels the same way -- so let's go!!! Why are all of the pots and pans all neat and tidy all year long but then are shoved in from mid April to mid June? Why are all of the summer flowers planted but we just can't get to trimming any bushes that are overgrown? And on and on and on. It's becuase we moved our daughter out of college mid May. We celbrated both of our daughter's birthdays. There was Mother's Day and Father's Day, my MIL bday, my Mother's bday, my Father's bday, and closing out the last two months of school... that's why! Ha!
We really do better than just getting through. There is still loviness from mid April to mid June but it's not for the faint of heart. It's go go go and we are so glad to get off that treamil and live! By live I mean finally find a routine, get to a million things on a growing to do list and start summer!
Today (second day of summer) I was 'just Mom' and I loved it. I got up at 5:30, had my prayer/journal/devotional time, worked out, showered and got ready for the day and still was able to make Abigail's first day of work/camp counselor breakfast and pack her an adorable lunch. Then I got to drive her.
It was the BEST feeling in the world to just be Mom and I am so grateful for this time to tune into my daughters and this precious family of mine. They deserve every moment of my summer and I intend to do summer with intention and love. 💕
