Hooray For The Lazy Days
I am so glad school's out for the summer! It's the one time of year when the pace slows down at our house. I still have to get up and go to work most days. However, getting myself ready is so much easier than getting myself plus three girls dressed and packed for the day ahead. No more racing to get my oldest child to the bus stop by 6:40am. No more checking the lunch menu and deciding who needs a lunch to take to school. No more field trip forms to sign, poster boards to buy last minute or homework to nag about. Even my laundry load seems to lighten in the summer since bathing suits become the main attire.
Sure, I'll have different work to do. Keeping track of who is going to which camp. I'll have to make sure each girl gets an equal chance to see friends. I'll have to buy more food, since everyone will be home during the day. I'll have to keep in constant communication with the sitter as to who is allowed to go where and when. I'll have to pack for our weekly summer vacation at the lake. Soon enough, I'll be hearing someone say "I'm bored" and then it will be time to shop for school supplies once again. But for now, I'm glad the lazy days of summer are here!
