Baseball really takes up the majority of our summer. Both older boys play travel ball and the oldest one played on a "tournament team". That means he played Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Yes, that means every weekend. And one weekend we traveled to Indiana (it was kind of a mini vacation which was nice, but it also cost as much as a mini vacation). I know the boys love baseball, but I'd really love to get my summer back.
And lest we forget football. Football starts the day after school lets out on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings. Then there are a few weeks of OTA's, and mandatory camp (2 A days) starts at the end of the July.
And with that, summer is done.
It's hard to manage family time with all these sport activities. But we did manage to go to Disney. It was fun (and HOT). I just hate that we basically live for one week a year.
School is back in session. We have a junior, a freshman, and a Kindergartner. So far so good. But it's only been a couple of weeks of high school and this is the second week of grade school. Football games started too. We have games Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. I forgot how exhausting football season is.
I'm looking forward to Labor Day weekend with it's extra day off. I'm hoping for good weather and some relaxation. Maybe a pool day in there too.
I haven't gotten into the back to school routine yet. I have a thousand things that I want to accomplish this fall, but I haven't gotten into a groove yet. Maybe next week. Right now, my plan is to enjoy the last few weeks of this gorgeous weather. I plan on walking outside every day. I hate working out, but I love to walk. Even though the summer is truly done for the kids, mom is going to try to extend hers for as long as she can.
