Ahhh…. summer is here. The first day of summer is June 21st. But I actually
started feeling it today. I am not sure who enjoys summer vacation more
parents or kids. The longer days and the sound of children’s laughter is almost
intoxicating, in a good way. With each passing day I am finding it easier to not
think about cleaning or cooking but instead of what it is like to be a kid during
summer vacation. Boy do they have it good!! Staying up late, sleeping in ,
playing in the sprinkler and eating as many freeze pops as you can. I used to let
the freeze pop melt a little before I “drank” the juice. My youngest daughter
does the same thing.

Usually when summer starts I have a huge to do list and never really enjoy the
season. There is always work to be done on the house or grass to be done.
But not this year, I am determined to have a lazy summer. Can it be done? Is it
possible to do nothing and enjoy life? I am willing to give it a try. I am going to
let some of the housework go, encourage my hubby to fish as much as
possible and let the kids eat freeze pops galore!
