All good things must come to an end

Tomorrow morning school starts! That's probably enough said. I really feel like this year I am going into it kicking and screaming. Of course I'm excited about my team and ready to work with them, but I'm just not ready to go back. I have enjoyed this summer more than any other. I have cherished sleeping until a hear a sweet voice calling for "mommy" instead of the blare of an alarm clock. I have loved pool time, dance parties, sea world trips with friends, and not caring about bed time.

Usually by now I am ready to get back into a routine. Ready to get back to being busy and active. But this summer I've been busy and active all summer. I worked three dance camps, Lyla and I went to visit my sweet friend Tessa in Dallas. We spent several days on Lake LBJ, and several more day trips to Canyon Lake. I got to spend 4 days in Vegas at an awesome dance convention. Lyla and I even made a day trip to the coast with my mom. Lyla loved the pool this summer, so we were probably down there at least 3 times a week. It has just been a blast. I have loved every minute of family time.

Andy's schedule was a little steadier this summer, so we were able to do some family stuff. A trip to Fredericksburg, a couple trips to Sea World. Lunches, dinner and even squeezed in a few date nights. I would give anything to have a few more weeks of summer.

But alas, I must go back in the morning. Back to early mornings, coming home well after 5:00. Only getting chores done on the weekends, and balancing my time between work, family and sanity.

So here's to another school year. Praying it is a great school year with low stress and lots of fun. And I'll just be looking forward to next summer.....
