Today, my new sophomore, had his first 'real' day of summer vacation. Yesterday were appointments all about his teeth. Today is the first day he was completely without an itinerary.
About 2:15 this afternoon, he didn't know what to do with himself, already!
Aawwww......the irony of the painfully slow, final days of school.......anticipating, with baited breath, the long-awaited, dog days of summer. When they finally arrive, we don't know what to do with ourselves.
I used the collective word "we" here even though I have created a long list of summer projects I cant wait to have time for. I do this list every year in May, hoping to tackle large organizing projects, painting or refinishing ideas, or anything that might take me outdoors as soon as the last textbooks have been turned in.
As we age, it feels like there are just not enough days nor enough time to squeeze in all the unrequired tasks we long to accomplish. Sometimes my creative energy is bursting at the seems and my list gets way too optimistic and entirely impossible to execute. But it is so much fun hoping, planning and imagining how great it would feel to check them all off before school consumes us, once again.
I hope your days of summer have arrived or are on their way.....
I hope you victoriously tackle some of those large projects you have been keeping in your "Maybe Summer" file......
And I hope you have as many days as time allows of complete, utterly delicious,
boredom.....
