Does anyone else find that summertime is insanely busy? Things sure have been crazy around here.
My nephew gave a week’s notice that he was getting married….joining the Air Force…..and becoming a dad. Yup, that was a lot to swallow in one conversation. In under a week I had to find a wedding gift, going away gift and a yeah you are having a baby gift. I keep reminding myself that this is probably a good thing. He has been floating from job to job during his adult life. Joining the military will make sure he has a steady job for awhile at least. He is at basic training now. Hopefully it is going well.
My kiddos have had a variety of summer activities so far. Library, summer camps, play dates, etc have taken over our calendar. Not that I am complaining, I love all the extras that summer adds to our crazy life.
I also started playing a computer game. It pretty much took up all of my spare time. This addiction, I mean hobby has been a fun way to fill in the gaps in my schedule. Too bad it took over my online time as well, lol. I have decided that the game has to be an evening activity after I have done everything on my calendar including my writing here on Heathen Homeschoolers. I hope to write at least3-4 times a week or more throughout the summer.
What does your summer schedule look like? Is it as crazy as ours?
I thought summer would be a time to relax. Instead we’re constantly running to appointments, play dates, story time or preparing the house for guests. But at least we’re having fun!
LOL oh dear gods, I hope the game isn’t World of Warcraft! Best time suck ever hehe.
We’re going into winter (yep, I just have to be different lol) but I can definitely say our summers are hopping!
The only problem with summers when my kids were little was that they were home non-stop and my husband was home from Friday night to Monday morning. So it was 24-hr. nonstop.
But yes, we had lots of good times. We used to play a game we called tourist. Since we live in a tourist town, we’d pretend we were tourists for a day and go all the places a tourist would go and have picnics and such.
We like to be tourists too. We go to all the places people visiting would go. It is always a fun time.
It was Sims 3. I couldn’t believe that I liked it so much, lol!
It was Sims 3. I was surprised that I liked it so well.
Summer is a lot of fun around here too!
