Is it time for a Vacation Yet?


After a crazy busy day like today,
which entailed the following:
  • 2 soccer games
  • 2 turkeys needed to be purchased and delivered to local Food Bank
  • 2 separete routes to pick up food for the cub/boy scout food drive
  • 1 son needed to be taken and picked up at local recycling center for service duty for Boy 
  • 1 birthday party for a friend of little guy's.   We almost didn't make this one as I totally spaced out on it, even though it was on my calendar.   I only remembered because someone asked about it at soccer giving me just enough time (barely) to pick up a card at grocery store.   There was no gift, just straight up cash for birthday boy.   Ooops.
  • Swim night at the local YMCA for Cub Scouts requiring me to put on a bathing suit in front of parents who didn't have to get into the pool.   The downside of being a den leader....

So after all this craziness, I am thankful for the time in the summer that is carved away for just the family.    Time spent in a location with no cell reception, activities (unless you count sitting by a lake reading tiresome) or deadlines.    A time, when your only job is to have a good time and spend your days with family.....
Doesn't it just make you want to get away from it all?


Live, Laugh, Love
and
Scrap it all!

  1. Yes, I look forward to vacations when we get away from all the stress and running around that we have to do at home. It is always so needed!
