Every year I say I will school through summer. Since I know my tendency to not want to do school through the summer save some fun science, I get my year done during the traditional school year calendar. This year is no exception. I planned to do some summer school but so far we have not had time to focus on much. I wish I could say it was because we were sailing around the world or traveling to a far off land. The farthest we will get this summer will be to the local ice cream parlor. Nonetheless, this summer so far has been very busy.
I was certain things would slow down for summer. I was looking forward to summer for that reason alone. Some summers are so slow during a month or so that adding in school would be fun and not a burden. Yet, we still manage to entertain ourselves in the sun and play rather than pick up a pencil or notebook. This summer has not been restful or slow as of yet. I am hoping that will change and we get a few lazy days on the porch playing board games, making crafts or reading books. However, so far I have had to cart my child around to volleyball camp and another to baseball. We have baseball practice two times a week and one game once a week. Volleyball will start soon and that will be once or twice a week. In addition, I have my own business, I write and I plan on taking some courses of my own. So, I am sad to say there may not be much rest this summer. I purchased a bunch of outdoor toys and I am hoping we get to use them.
So what your summer plans? Still in school? Taking a break?
