Two more days left to summer vacation and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't sad. I have loved my summer at home. This is the first summer I've felt Reese was really able to be a part of the summer, not just a side kick.
We've enjoyed our beach trips, the aquarium/zoo visit, and art camp. But we've also really enjoyed the quiet days of going to the library, having lunch with Daddy, baking in the kitchen, and just hanging out together. Our days and our hearts have been full of time together.
Yep, I'm ugly cry sad.
I know if I did this all the time I wouldn't enjoy it near as much. And clearly Reese is at the age where he'd be headed to school anyway. I adore my third graders a majority of the time, and I delight in investing in them and watching them grow.
I just don't delight in this transition time. Going back to being a working mama who still has to do all the stay at home mama things is a hard adjustment. Every year.
So as we adjust to a new routine {otherwise known as our old one, I guess}, say a prayer for our little family. Even the pups will have some adjusting to do.
