As you know I am counting down the days until summer vacation. 4 to be exact. The problem with summer is that the kids are around all the time which makes it impossible to have any “me” time. On the other hand, the fact that I don’t have to drive back and forth to school several times a day and worry about them doing homework and studying means that it’s a much more laid back time for us. I always have a list of things I want to do before they go back to school. As if once they go back to school I won’t be able to do anything. Ha!
So here it is. My list of things I want to accomplish this summer.
1. Redecorate Lauryn’s room. I was supposed to do this over winter break but apparently… it didn’t happen.
2. Redecorate Amanda’s room. Ditto above.
3. Redecorate the kids’ bathroom. Needs to be done badly, but this means re-grouting the floor and painting the walls. I still can’t understand how 3 girls can trash a bathroom so badly.
4. Hike. I want to get the girls hiking on a regular basis. I’m thinking we should be able to handle one hike a week.
5. Crafting. I want the girls to do some serious crafting. I need to get them to use their creativity for good, not for evil.
6. Cooking. Temera, my chef, has plans to cook a lot more and do a lot of baking. Who am I to disagree? We’ve been wanting her to do a cooking blog for a long time, I’m thinking this summer would be a great time to start.
I know my husband is wondering where our home office comes on this list. I promised to redecorate it for him last Father’s Day. Ummm…. I’m pretty sure another Father’s Day is coming up and it STILL isn’t done. My bad. Very bad. Honey, I’ll get to it ASAP.
