Dog Days of Summer have begun |
Most working moms are exhausted this time of year. The kids are over school. The uniforms have holes in them and the book bags are held together with duct tape. And then, just like that, Memorial Day comes to help us cope with what we have to do. It gives us a reprieve to prepare for the summer--a less structured life filled with longer nights and more fun.
This time of year is also a time of reflection. It is the embodiment of success. We successfully completed another school year. For us that means we completed cross country season, times 2 (both boys), basketball season, times 2 (both boys), and soccer season, times 2 (both boys). We also completed ballet, our first year doing it in the pre-professional division.
We had a great Memorial Day where we celebrated the initiation of summer, even though it wasn't warm enough to swim. Still, the long weekend was to be celebrated. And, as we greet summer, we hope to be bolstered by all of the freedom and energy in the above photo!
