There is a fine line between just enough and too much. It's a line I've been walking for a while now and I think it's safe to say that it's finally been crossed. I don't know why I always assume that summer time will bring us rest; it never does. Just the opposite, as soon as the weather warms up and the shackles of a school schedule are cast off, our lives fill up faster than I can manage.
Summer is the time when everyone takes their vacations and I end up covering for them. Summer is also the time when everyone expects entertainment and I end either hosting or shuttling. So, by the time summer is all said and done, I'm desperately looking forward to the excuse, Sorry, can't, the kids have school.
This summer though, I feel like I am just about to reach my breaking point on all the activities and something has got to give. Then again, I remind myself that with one child already graduated and another soon to follow, all this busyness is temporary and all too soon I will likely have nothing but time on my hands and an empty house that perpetually stays clean.
So, for yet another summer, I will put my big girl pants on do all the things to help other people have a wonderful, exciting, eventful summer and remind myself that much like summer itself, this time in my life is just a season that will be over all too soon.
