Why is it that every summer I say "Time to kick back and relax"? There has not been 1 summer where we have kicked back and relaxed...or winter...spring...fall...
Cindy is working as a volunteer at Girl Scout camp for four weeks this summer. Silly me, I thought that I would have very relaxed weeks when she was at camp. After all, what else did I have to do? I never realized how well I had trained my "little sweetie". Having to do her work AND my work and all the extra camp laundry...whoa, baby!
AND, I've really got to set the schoolroom to rights. You know, that part between gasping your way across the finish line in the spring...and the smell of new crayons in the fall? Well, we don't have crayons anymore..she's starting 10th grade. But we do have tons of books. I did do a good job of sorting out the books we won't use again and getting those to the used book sale, but, I still have to shelve the new books and organize the bookshelves. The shelves are kind of trapped in the schoolroom, so accessible placement of materials is everything! And let's not even start on the Girl Scout shelves! The craft/camping stuff is in pretty good shape, but the books and papers explode every year!
So, after I finish helping at VBS on Monday-Wednesday; I'll come home, start a load of laundry and tackle a shelf. And maybe, just maybe, I'll get them done before my daughter graduates in 2012!
Feeling blessed, how about you?
