Countdown to Calm

20 days of school left for Honeybun and I couldn’t be more excited!  While many parents loathe summer vacation and having their children home all the time, I’m looking forward to the break and being able to slow down our family for a while.  Between my work schedule, hubby’s recent and upcoming travel schedule, gymnastics, ballet and school, often I feel like we are just getting by, making it through the day and don’t have the time to enjoy each other.  There are a million reasons I’m excited for the school year to be over, but here are just a few of them:

1)       Girls getting to sleep in past 6:30

2)       No more having to scrape together a sack lunch out what I happen to have in my fridge

3)      IMAG0237 Getting to put Doodle to nap when he’s tired rather than keeping him up because it’s almost school pickup time

4)       Not having to do ten walks to school and back when hubby is out of town

5)       Being able to go to the park whenever we want

6)       Not having to schlep everyone to school at 7:15 in the morning when hubby has an early meeting

7)       Being able to swim whenever we want

8)       Not stressing about laundry and having school clothes clean (or clothes that Honeybun wants to wear)

9)       Having the time to play, read, create and love each other

10)     No Homework

11)     Getting to do whatever we want, whenever we want!
