Summer


I find myself lately wanting the Summer to be over. I am ready for the daily school grind (I think!). I don't know. I think my Type A personality and OCD need the structure. I've found myself a little lost this past month and extremely disorganized...very unlike me.

Don't get me wrong....I've loved our Summer. With 3 weeks left before school we still have plenty of fun things planned. (I'm already reminiscing about the roadtrip to CA...and my two parrots squawking every 15 minutes "Are we there yet?"...the firework burns...the paintball welts....swimmer's ear, bug bites and my sunburn.)
It's been a non-stop whirlwind HOT Summer but I think I'm ready for the Fall or at least some cooler temperatures! San Diego left me wanting more of that and maybe that is where my funk comes from. I'm always sad to leave SD and it tends to stick with me for a long while. I plan our vacation around SD every year. A little selfish...I know.
So Funk or not I'm just gonna have to get through it. I tend to look forward to the "BIG" things on the calendar. I muddle through the middle until I get to the reward.
Next BIG one is Ava's first day at Kindergarten. I'm anxious and not prepared for another child with homework but I'll do it along with ballet, cheer leading, karate and flag football. Maybe I'm not ready for the Summer to be over.
Jeez, I'm such a whiner!
