I was going to entitle this entry with the date, but wouldn't you know it, even after hitting the bank earlier today, I can't remember what the date is. But I do know it's Monday, and I'll go on and feel good about that :).           

Summer is interesting, isn't it? I'm not sure if it's super busy for everyone or just homeschoolers, but it is jam packed for us and our friends. I think it's because during the 'school' year we focus a lot on academics, and in the summer, we focus on time with friends-- mine and the kids. Without scheduling play-dates, it would be easy to miss seeing people we care about, so each week there is a focused effort. While I dream of many consecutive days of doing "whatever", I quickly find I want to be with others, and most everyone is scheduling things, so we must as well! 

Anyhow, tomorrow we will do something fun that we do each summer. I'll tell you about it after the fact, k? There is so much preparation for us, I'm not sure how others take little day trips often or more spur of the moment. I mean, I'm doing laundry because my one daughter only has 2 pair of shorts and both are not clean (dirty laundry, oh why don't you discriminate??). We have to wear a pair and bring an extra one...my other daughter is also lacking in the short department, so her stuff is going to also have to be washed, but that is the darks, so I'm committed to 2 huge loads.            

While doing laundry, I came upon this spider that looked alive but too juicy to step on. So, I nudged it to see if it was dead, because some part of it looked dead. Well, wouldn't you know, it was an ALIVE one on TOP of a dead one. And the living one took off under the freezer, so now I've let a blood sucking killer spider go loose. Dummy. I just can't shake how disgusting it was squishing an enormous brown basement spider a few years back in that same laundry room...so I'm hesitant.       

Well, now that I've grossed us all out, I'm going to go and keep getting ready for tomorrow. I hope you have great day .
