A FB friend posted that there was only three weeks loft of summer vacation. In June three weeks seemed like an eternity. Now, not so much. It seems like a short time to do everything.
We certainly have not done "nothing" all summer. We have gone on vacation. We have gotten all the school supplies together. We have not forgotten our karate classes. We have taught a Safety Town class. Well, I have while the kids attended. We have swum in the neighbors pool. We have gone grocery shopping together. And some other summer-like things.
I wonder if the boys will remember the times we played together rather than those times I rolled my eyes because I was up to my elbows in cleaning supplies and could not stop to take apart a Lego or find a stray NASCAR replica. I fear that the boys will feel like summer was boring and that Mom didn't do stuff with them. But in my heart I hope that they will remember that I let them get away with some fun stuff and that I did play many a round of Monopoly and race cars.
I remember climbing trees and swinging on the set in our backyard. Also playing with my cousins and the dog. So, maybe it is human nature to remember the fun stuff and not the boring stuff.
Sigh, summer vacation is almost over.
