I feel like I’m standing on the edge of the high dive, trying to get up my nerves for the big jump. This is the last week of school and then summer starts. A whole big open space for me to fill with whatever I want. And I’m nervous. Nervous of wasting away the summer with meaningless fluff and tv and computer time. Excited to spend lots of time with the kiddos. Scared of spending so much time with the kiddos that we all start to go crazy. But mostly excited.
We made up a job chart, hoping to limit our tv/computer time and read more. We sat down together last night and we each made a list of goals we want to accomplish during the summer (reading books, polishing up those times tables, etc…) and our wishes (things we want to do, places we want to see). I’m feeling ready.
And a bit nervous.

Lucky. I wish I had summer break. gosh dangit.
Good call and good luck. The last days here are today and tomorrow.
Oh how I wish I had one more week until summer break.
I love having the kids home.
Really I do.
I just wish I would have had one more week.
Good luck with your list!
I guess that’s where I can wish my guy went to school so I could have that “what to do with summer” feeling. Right now it’s just easier since we can play and play outside!
