It. Is. Here.
Summer-time… But with three Kidlets, the livin’ “ain’t” easy.
Already, we have flown here and there and everywhere (twice), and the family calendar is ever so quickly filling up with day camps, library programs … And somewhere in the mix, I need to plan THREE birthday parties for the Kidlets.
Oy.
Like last year, the Kidlets (the older two, at least) are working on compiling our Summer Fun List; the Little Lady is especially eager, throwing out numerous trips to the beach and lots of tea parties and Popsicles as her contributions to our summer list of “goals.”
Looking at our calendar and the activity/craft filled Summer Fun List, I would be lying if I said I wasn’t a wee bit anxious instead of relaxed about out this whole “summer” thing.
WHICH … is WHY I decided to make one. more. list.
(I know … I seriously have a problem with list making)
This list is different. It is Mommy’s List. . . . My way of slowing my mind down and reminding myself that I am NOT “unimportant” simply because I wear a Mommy-Cape.
Just a list of things I want to do and remember over the next few busy and hot weeks.
It’s all about maintaining sanity, folks.
