This friday will officially mark the end of the end-of-the-year whirlwind for all members of our household. Hooray! In the last 2 weeks, we've had J's preschool promotion, PG's kindergarten program, 9's award ceremony (no graduation for 8th graders around here- what's up with that?), and one high school graduation for Mr. C's students. Mixed in with all these ceremonies, there have also been 2 trips to the water park, one trip to Magic Mountain, one night out at miniature golf/go carts, 2 water days, one picnic day, and 2 pajama/movie days. Whew.
Come next Monday, we will officially be On Summer Vacation. Really, this means that for the next 9 weeks my family and I will be stuck indoors together while the temp climbs up to 120 outside. (In the early years of our marriage, this almost was the end of Mr. C and I. However, we've since smartened up and learned to plan, plan, plan, and for god's sake LEAVE THE HOUSE as often as possible.)
Anyway, as much as I really am looking forward to our summer plans, today after Roo and I dropped J off at preschool, I looked down at our shadows on the sidewalk. And that's when I realized....
this I will miss.
Three hours of uninterrupted alone time with my Baby Roo while every one is at school. She's going to be so much bigger at the end of summer. I just hope that no matter how busy we get, no matter where we go or what we're doing, I'll remember to stop and give her an extra squeeze now and then.
Cuz I'd like to think that she's going to miss it too.
You all have a good night!
