Months ago, I signed up for an online Squam course for the month of May (Pitch Perfect, which I highly recommend to anyone wondering how to start a writing career path for print media). I remember the final months of school seeming to drag on and on last year, for the kids and for me, and I was excited to have a month of good work just for myself. The reality was, as usual, slightly different.
Perhaps because the winter dragged on into April this year, the spring term felt rather whirlwind. The girls being older meant bigger, longer term projects that all came to a head in the final weeks of school. My volunteering as kindergarten room mom took on new dimensions of engagement, as I attended various functions to round out the year and worked several late nights (hello, procrastination!) to finish personalised memory books for each child in the class.
It all might have been fine, though a bit manic, if Hubby hadn't broken a bone in his leg during that last week of school. Did I mention the flood in the kitchen the same morning of the painful bone break?
Whew.
Now, summer vacation is upon us. In the US, that means three months of no school. I can hardly believe we're here already! Like last year, we will use this time as a mini-homeschooling session, working on our reading, writing, math, science and even history this year. And of course, art. There must always be art. Creating too often fell to the wayside this year, and we all miss it. As for the writing, I hope to get back to that, too.
What has kept you busy lately? I hope you find a way back to something you enjoy and currently miss.
