Good morning and completely satisfied Caturday!
I do know it’s solely the primary week of July, but it surely already seems like summer season will probably be over quickly — at the very least it does for our household’s calendar, which at the moment revolves across the faculty yr schedule.
It’s bizarre, however I suppose it’s as a result of after I was in class again within the ‘90s, I keep in mind summer season feeling prefer it stretched out endlessly. Someplace between July and early August was when it felt like the times have been twice as lengthy, however possibly that’s as a result of I used to be a latchkey child and spent most of my summer season days holed up in the home, LOL!
Elevate your hand if this was your summer season expertise rising up. I don’t assume it was unusual for the period.
Additionally, my dad and mom didn’t actually consider in extracurricular actions until they concerned enjoying the piano. In case you needed to pay for an exercise or if mentioned exercise didn’t improve your probabilities of stepping into a great school, (in accordance with the Filipino grapevine within the Bay Space throughout that point), overlook it, ha ha ha!
I truthfully don’t even keep in mind how I spent my days through the summer season. I feel there was a variety of watching MTV and “Divorce Courtroom” (keep in mind that present?), studying magazines and calling mates on the telephone.
Anyway, my level is, now summer season feels prefer it goes by in a flash, and on my checklist of issues to do at present are shopping for new uniforms for Connor and looking for a water bottle for her that hopefully received’t get gross rapidly and won’t get misplaced (the place do all of the misplaced ones go, sigh).
How’s your summer season been to date, by the best way? I hope that it’s been good to you, and that you simply’re getting a while to do some belongings you need.
Talking of summer season, is it simply me, or does it really feel like social media places strain to “profit from the summer season” and “seize all of the recollections” and do “all of the issues?”
I preserve seeing posts that say that you simply solely get X quantity of weeks per summer season, and also you solely get X quantity of childhood summers in your youngsters, so that is the time to make it the very best you possibly can. After which I see folks doing “all of the issues,” and, I’m like, effectively, I suppose that appears like enjoyable, however does each weekend need to be some kind of epic Instagrammable journey?
For instance, yesterday Connor, El Hub and I frolicked in our entrance yard and browse for a pair hours within the shade whereas Marnie frolicked with us. After which we drove to a close-by picnic spot, ate lunch, learn some extra after which frolicked on the grass subsequent to a pond. After which we bought tender serve.
Sure, journey is enjoyable, however I additionally assume a while spent the place one can simply be is good, too.
Hope issues in your finish are good. What’s your plan for the day? Connor and El Hub are fishing proper now, so I’m going to complete up some writing after which Marnie and I are going to do some canine coaching.
Your pleasant neighborhood magnificence addict,
Karen
