It's that time again, time to really start looking at next year. Our plan is basically set, but not how to meld the variety of resources we're using. Then there are the small details of which specific class to sign up for, meal ideas, and this last minute vacation I'm dying to take.   

Last year, because of school and the myriad of extra curricular activities, I decided vacationing during our normal week was not going to be a good idea. So, we explored another destination at another time of year, and that bombed. We were just going to forgo vacation altogether then, but here we are nearing the end of July, and I'm getting that overwhelming feeling of needing time away with my family without phone, the computer, or obligations. Just us.      

There are new variables adding stress to this last minute decision, but at least we are looking in the same direction!        

And I need to now go and look at cookbooks to do some serious meal-planning with the plethora of food we have in this house .  Have a great Sunday!
