Slow Summer

There is a lot I have not been doing this summer......blogging.  Sorry!  I think it about it occasionally and I do miss it....it just hasn't been happening!

I haven't been doing swim team.  All I can say about that is YIPPEE!  What a nice break after 10 years.....so. nice. did. not. miss. it. one. bit! 

I haven't been entertaining my kids.  They have had a fun summer....but it was no thanks to me!

I haven't been running much.  It's sad but true.  I am FINALLY, after a year of almost constant pain, getting some answers as to why my ankle hurts so much AND this week for the first time in a LOOOONG time it is REALLY feeling better.  So there is hope yet for my running!

What have I been doing?

Resting.  A lot. Sleeping in.  Taking Naps.  Going to bed early.  I was tired.  The rest has been good!

We've all rested!


Growing a garden.  It is wonderful.  I love the work of it.  I love the smell of it.  I love the fruit of it.  I love the naturalness of it.  Gardening is for me!  The little girls love it too!




Spending time with friends and family.  Visiting.  Eating pie.  Holding babies.  Breaking bread.  Sharing life.  The good, the bad, the ugly.

Sneaking out on dates with my little ones....
First time at Waffle House for this girl....Her eyes were bigger than her stomach!


I have been Reading too.  Novels.  Just for fun reading that I haven't done in years.  I love to read!

I've watched kids sleep late.  
Splash in the pool!


I've watched kids pick blueberries from my friends backyard.  
Prepare for tea parties at Nanny's.



I've been preparing for school.  I am really excited.  I've studied.  Written lesson plans.  Organized materials.  Shopped for supplies.  Prayed: For my kids and for my students.  

I've been planning.....our new schedule....it starts early!  Our new adventure!  Trying to figure out how to fit in what matters.

I am a blessed woman.
