WHAT DO YOU DO TO CLEAN UP DURING THE SUMMER?
We also have some big plans for summer and hope they can be followed through. I am working 3 weeks of summer music theatre camps, scout camp, girls camp, Journey (young women's retreat), Time to Blossom (girls retreat), trip to Colorado, trip to Oregon, etc etc etc. Here's hoping I keep my sanity!
But back to my bittersweet moment - I'm excited to have my kids home, excited to get some things done, excited to not have to get up so early, excited to enjoy some quality time together. But I'm not excited for the noise, the messes, the dozens of kids in my pool (although that is fun!), the LATE bedtimes, the lack of motivation. Can't decide which weighs heavier for me!
WHAT ABOUT YOU??

Sounds like you have a fun filled summer planned! Hopefully we can get together sometime before I have this baby and have lunch. :-)
I am freaking out about the summer. I wish I could say I was one of those great moms that just loves to be home with the kids. Instead it is the whining about what to do and I'm bored. That gets old. I am ready for year round school.
We're replacing our windows, which will require us to pretty much pack up our house like we're moving....at least it's forcing me to confront my junk. Have fun with your projects though...kids need to be busy! (This is Joyce Brinton by the way. :)
I like to get big jobs done in the summer, too. We're hoping to completely redo at least 2 rooms.
And I feel the same bittersweet feelings you do about the kids being home. Oh well...you take the good and you take the bad...right?
you've always been awesome about your summer chore charts. it's sort of inspiring.
i'm with the double edged sword thoughts. nice to have less going on and better sleeping in time, but dread the messes and cooking for everyone home.
