It's time for summer!

Yay!

In past years, I've experienced end-of-year-itis much like my kids. It wasn't as bad this year--not creeping up on me until just recently, with only three weeks left of school. Usually, I get antsy with about two months left... I attribute the lag to the fact that my son rides the bus to and from school. That's really what drives me insane--the trips back and forth to school on a daily basis. And our middle school is the worst set-up for traffic I've ever experienced. And I'm on my third go-round.

Anywho...tonight is my son's band program and next Thursday, my middle child graduates from high school. And then we're off for the summer. I even get summer vacation (sort of) this year.

Come June 8, I'm working half days. The kids and I will spend mornings cleaning house. Well, mostly the kids. I'll be there to command the troops.
We may get a couple of field trips in there, if they do good.

We'll be taking a couple of camping trips, hopefully, and I'm also hoping for a houseboating trip--but not until after the peak season, which for most lakes/houseboat rental places is the end of September.


Any special summer plans?

Summer snuck up on me as well. Now, that I'm working more hours outside the home, it doesn't really feel like summer -- YET!

However, I hope to change that with more fun week-end outtings. And as mine are all old enough, a few late night outtings as well.

We're planning a cruise this summer. It's our first, and I'm totally jazzed about it.

One of these days, Mom, we'll make it.

Have fun on that cruise, Sandra!
