OK-Well, this is the summer when I reorganize, reconnect with my life/family after 3 straight years of school, and, most importantly, take some time to RELAX!!!!

We made it through the first day of "vacation"--the house stayed clean and everyone went to bed with a smiling face. BUT, I am finding myself easily pulled back into that same trap I was stuck in throughout my years as a stay-at-home mom---not taking ANY time to unwind, take a few moments to myself!

So, I am committing myself to spend some time each day reading and writing to keep my mind fresh, sending my little feelers out into the grown-up world. If I don't do that, what is the point in taking the summer "off"?

So, today we are off to the pool, of course!
