I've been jacked by summer

This summer is gonna be different, I said. I will make a summer bucket list to keep me grounded, I thought. I will pick a few skills to sharpen Hummingbird's mind for 2nd grade, I said. We will go to the park a couple of days during the week after work, I said.

Man, I talk too much!!!!

What has happened to my summer? Look at it, gorgeous, huh?

Its's practically over. Can you believe we are halfway through the year? That means 5 months til Christmas, yikes!

How did this happen?

I think my A type personality took over and I focused way too much on my list.

Summer should be about being carefree, not as many rules, taking it day by day. I had to remember that the kids are out for the summer, not me. As a work outside the home mom, I still have a regular work schedule to follow, which still includes a congested, volume fill commute. Why don't businesses give employees summer hours?

So, I had to revise the manner in which I tackled  could enjoy my summer. Hummingbird and I did a craft on Saturday morning. Yogli spent the weekend with his friends. He even got a job! MonkeyMan and I enjoyed the simplicity of the weekend. See, nothing major or are they? Sometimes it's the small things we do that make the biggest impact.


Small things like strolling through the park and trips to Yogli Mogli.

For this Yogli Mogli trip, there was one missing person. You guessed it, Yogli himself. 

Can you guess which concoction belongs to who?

So, listen to me carefully. It's ok to have those summer bucket lists but use them loosely. The regular Fall routine will be here in no time flat, plenty of time to follow all of the rules. But for the rest of this summer, stop and taste the frozen yogurt!
