Summer has started...Sort of!

This week Sasha has school 1.5 days. The half day is Field Day. Next week she has her regular schedule of M/W, half day Friday, but tons of fun things are thrown in (like an ice cream party). Sadie just finished her second week of preschool camp. Her preschool ended May 21st, she is officially done.. So even though we still have "school", summer has begun.

That means...

We rejoined MVP (health club).  We weren't members last summer, but this mama needs a place to dump drop off the kids for fun...while I loose my chunky monkey mama weight. They also have indoor & outdoor pools.

Kids swimming in the pool.  At the club & at home.
Play dates with friends.
Preschool Camp.
Girl Scout Camp.
VBS.
High School Graduations.
Tom's brother's wedding (the girls are flower girls).
Birthdays.
The zoo.
Meijer Gardens.
De-Cluttering.

With all these things to do, I am feeling....
BUSY!
Busy with everyday life (cooking, cleaning, laundry...).  Not to mention the above.
Chaotic in my mind.
All good things....just so much to do!

My house is disaster...
toys everywhere.
leaves, sticks & pine cones set aside IN THE HOUSE for art projects.
Art projects abound.


My yard is a mess...
wood chips, flowers (in progress) & play sand still need to be done.
the gardens (herb & veggies) are in.


All this adds up to me zoning out on the web drinking coffee & eating too much chocolate.
I can ignore the mess, for a bit.
BUT...the noise of my kids...is TOO MUCH.
My patients are limited & I hear "mama" way too much.
Would it be bad to run away?
Probably.
I would miss them too much anyway.

Eventually the caffeine kicks in & I get inspired to do something.
For now, I eat more chocolate :)
