I'm learning to love the summer. When my kids were younger I was not a fan of summer break especially the unpredictable schedule....for someone so routine based like me that fly by the seat of your pants summer left me feeling frazzled. I began to notice a shift in my attitude last summer. While before I counted down the days till my kids were back in school now I find myself trying everything I can to prolong summer break. I found myself getting sad when it time for my much beloved routine to start again. What is going on with me?!
Maybe it's because my kids are older and more self sufficient. Maybe it's because I'm enjoying spending time with them. Maybe it's the thought of having a freshman and a middle schooler that's causing an early midlife crisis. Maybe it's because I'm realizing more and more that the days are long and the years are short!
Here's to a slow summer....a savoring of pool days...spur of the moment road trips...and time spent with family.
