Summer

I thought it was interesting the other day when Michael asked me why I was so stressed.. because it was summer. There is that mind set that summer is this laid back, relaxing time. So not true in our house. In some ways, I feel more stressed over the summer. Maybe because we're off our normal schedule, maybe because we need to see other people, maybe because we're bored. Our school year schedule is so routine, so set for the most part. Our summer, not so much. The biggest "routine" is making sure Sam gets her nap. In some ways, I love nap time -- it's quiet (kind of). In some ways, I'll be glad when Sam no longer takes a nap. It really does put a kink in the day.... you get up, get moving, and it's soon time for nap. After nap, there never seems to be enough time either before I have to make dinner. I don't understand how people find time to go to the pool every day -- I need to find some more of that time (It would give us something to do, and it would tire out the kids.) Mostly, since I am at home, I feel the need to get all those projects done at home (and on top of that, the kids are home more and are making a bigger mess)
Anyway, that's my rambling blog for today.
