Relaxing is for Sissies

So our summer got off to a super fun start visiting family in Ormond Beach. We played, we laughed, we visited, and we ate…a lot! The first full week of summer vacation was an easy week that somehow went by super fast. It was just a week of doing what we want when we want. A week of sleeping in, relaxing, and just enjoying the break from the school routine. Then Mark left on Thursday night and drove the boys home on Friday, and the fun craziness began.

Friday night the kids got in late, so they all played and we visited a little before bedtime. The next morning was my 40th birthday, and my family had a full day of fun and surprises planned, (that’s a whole separate blog in itself) and I don’t think we slowed down since. Or not much anyway.

We’ve been to the movies, we’ve been to the beach, we’ve been to the pool, we’ve played with friends, we’ve gotten Build A Bears, we’ve eaten out, and the kids are going to church camp…and it’s only Wednesday! Keep ‘em busy, that’s what we say. Somehow the slow summer with not much planned has become a fast paced whirlwind of family, friends, travels, and fun. And I wouldn’t trade it for the world.

But this mom is one tired girl! Is it bad that by 3:00 (and that’s on a good day) I’m already looking forward to bedtime for the kids so I can snuggle up on the couch with my hubby and relax and unwind before the craziness begins again the next morning?
