While summer should stand for relaxation - in the sun, by the pool, beach days - it somehow always manages to kick my butt with busy times. Yes, we have done all these relaxing things, but man have the days (and nights!) been packed with countless things to do - none of which I can even think of right now!! Guess it's just the fact the this is my busiest time of year with my big fundraiser coming up, and all the activities the kids are in, plus lots of visitors and activities and commitments. All good things, but I have felt a bit overwhelmed, and short fused lately. 2 busy boys who are definitely in the stage of independence in addition to a full schedule can be exhausting!
This past week, our bodies rebelled and let us know we need to slow down. All four of us got slight cold symptoms. Not enough to knock us out initially, but enough for us to pause. And then the dreaded firsts came on Saturday night - Colin's first bought with an ear infection, first dose of antibiotics, and first Urgent Care visit. Of course this all had to explode at 2am and Morgan and Colin disappeared into the night until 4am, returning with the meds.
SO... this week, I am focussing on fun, and true relaxation!! AND... maybe a little hokey pokey to remind us to slow down and cherish the journey - all that comes our way - whatever they may be!
