Life's Moving On
This year has blown by so quickly.
By year, I mean the school year, because as a Mom with three kids, that is how I currently measure our lives.
In fact, this is how I view "A Year"-
August:
Hot, pool parties, hot, school supplies, sports tryouts by mid-month, still hot. End of August is the first day of school.
September:
Back to school nights (3), getting into the rhythm of homework again, baseball and volleyball games.
October:
Cooler weather and crunchy leaves, volleyball ending, Halloween candy and costumes and a rocking good party.
November:
First quarter is over, parent teacher conferences, Thanksgiving, preparing for Christmas- who has what? What do I need? Start wrapping and plan the Christmas meal.
December:
Lights are up! Tree is up! Comparing "piles" and wrapping gifts, our neighbor bringing Christmas cookies, family and more family, church and celebration.
January:
Back to school, thank you God! A new year. A clean slate. Basketball. Snow.
February:
Thinking ahead to summer camps, believe it or not. More snow. More basketball. Trying to avoid the gloomy feeling that comes during the deepest part of winter.
March:
Spring break? Mission trip? Parent teacher conferences again. Hopefully seeing the first signs of spring. Basketball over, preparing to start baseball.
April:
Baseball! Spring! Sun and rain. Flowers blooming and tons of maple seeds helicoptering their way down all over the place. Spring fever makes doing homework almost impossible. Allergy meds.
May:
Pool opening and Memorial Day kick off. Happiness. Filling up on Vitamin D. Throwing in the towel on school: we're all tired and need to just chill.
June:
SCHOOL'S OUT!! Celebrate, enjoy not having a schedule.. two weeks later: too much downtime. We need a schedule. I'm going to kill someone.
July:
HOT. So HOT. This humidity is crazy, why do we live here? Pool parties. Summer camp. Planning to prepare for the start of the new school year...
And so it goes...

I wonder if we ever really lose that school year mentality? I kind of think I will always measure time like this.
Love your recap!
