Any day spent stress-free subsequent to the water is an effective day
Good morning and pleased Caturday!
I do know it’s solely the primary week of July, nevertheless it already appears like summer season will likely be over quickly — not less than it does for our household’s calendar, which at the moment revolves across the college yr schedule.
It’s bizarre, however I suppose it’s as a result of after I was in class again within the ‘90s, I bear in mind summer season feeling prefer it stretched out without end. Someplace between July and early August was when it felt like the times have been twice as lengthy, however perhaps that’s as a result of I used to be a latchkey child and spent most of my summer season days holed up in the home, LOL!
Increase your hand if this was your summer season expertise rising up. I don’t suppose it was unusual for the period.
Additionally, my mother and father didn’t actually imagine in extracurricular actions until they concerned taking part in the piano. For those who needed to pay for an exercise or if mentioned exercise didn’t improve your probabilities of moving into a very good school, (in accordance with the Filipino grapevine within the Bay Space throughout that point), neglect it, ha ha ha!
I actually don’t even bear in mind how I spent my days in the course of the summer season. I believe there was a number of watching MTV and “Divorce Courtroom” (do not forget that present?), studying magazines and calling mates on the cellphone.
Anyway, my level is, now summer season feels prefer it goes by in a flash, and on my checklist of issues to do at present are shopping for new uniforms for Connor and trying to find a water bottle for her that hopefully gained’t get gross shortly and won’t get misplaced (the place do all of the misplaced ones go, sigh).
How’s your summer season been thus far, by the best way? I hope that it’s been good to you, and that you just’re getting a while to do some stuff you need.
Talking of summer season, is it simply me, or does it really feel like social media places stress to “benefit from the summer season” and “seize all of the recollections” and do “all of the issues?”
I maintain seeing posts that say that you just solely get X quantity of weeks per summer season, and also you solely get X quantity of childhood summers on your youngsters, so that is the time to make it the very best you possibly can. After which I see folks doing “all of the issues,” and, I’m like, nicely, I suppose that appears like enjoyable, however does each weekend need to be some form of epic Instagrammable journey?
For instance, yesterday Connor, El Hub and I frolicked in our entrance yard and skim for a pair hours within the shade whereas Marnie frolicked with us. After which we drove to a close-by picnic spot, ate lunch, learn some extra after which frolicked on the grass subsequent to a pond. After which we acquired gentle serve.
Sure, journey is enjoyable, however I additionally suppose a while spent the place one can simply be is good, too.
Hope issues in your finish are good. What’s your plan for the day? Connor and El Hub are fishing proper now, so I’m going to complete up some writing after which Marnie and I are going to do some canine coaching.
Your pleasant neighborhood magnificence addict,
Karen
