The end of the summer is almost here and I have mixed feelings. On the other hand, of course, I'm celebrating the fact that I will once more have some peace and quiet during the day. (I really, really, really require peace and quiet. Funny that I had 2 children.) But really, that doesn't measure up against the fact that I will have to wake up at 6:15am, make lunches, fight against the clock every morning to get McKenzie to her bus stop by 6:55am, deal with paperwork, homework, etc etc etc.. So many mixed feelings.
School starts next Tuesday and I don't know who is LESS prepared, them or me. So I'm sending my family away for a minny vacation. McKenzie and her dad to the redwoods for a camping trip for 3 days. Callie to her great grandparents house and me, well, I'm staying home and treating myself to a pedicure and massage. I've got these all booked and I'm counting the hours to pure bliss. I just might go into shock. I just might take a long bath with a book in hand. I 'm going to watch a scary movie and I'm just going to enjoy the silence of the house. I don't mean to sound like I enjoy sending my family away but I need them to go away so I will miss them and then they can come back.
