It is with sadness that I type these words, our vacation is over. In looking back on our week, I think it was one of our best vacations ever. We often vacation with good friends or extended family and have always had good times and lots of great memories; however, this year it was just the 6 of us. It was so nice, different, quiet but really great. My kids only had each other, and guess what, they actually like each other. The house only had 1 TV (in our family that is a hardship) and it forced us to gather together, make decisions together and I think we are stronger for it. (Although, I now know way too much about the Kardashians, Phinnias & Ferb and the Wizards of Waverly place, I guess you have to take the good with the bad.)
Friday was the perfect day, we spent the entire day on the beach. I filled the big cooler with drinks, snacks and sandwiches and off we went. The water was warm, I was even in the water. There was a moment; all my family splashing in the waves, laughing in the sun, when I knew that life does not get any better than this.
Well, back to reality, looking forward to:
*moving Jamie back to college
*getting both girls ready for cheer camp
*motivating the kids to finish summer workbooks and reading assignments
*Molly's "friend" birthday party
*getting myself ready to go back to school
*did I mention Ants is working the next 7 days straight
I know everything will get done, I hope with the last 7 days of rest and relaxation, I can get things done with out losing it.
