I’m not afraid to admit that I have not struck a beautiful balance between school and work and the lake. Lol! Not. At. All.
During the summer, I had a system where I knew what needed doing every day to get us back to the lake the following weekend. I have lost that completely. Though, to be fair, we go for much shorter stretches now, so packing and preparing is a quicker, shorter process. So I’ve made it work.
Add to all of those things I’m already juggling a handful of sick kids at home! Ack! It has not been our smoothest week! Thankfully, whatever strain of cold we caught this time was a nice quick one! That never happens!! 😅 So, today, all the full-timers are back in action, and I’m back to hanging with this little weirdo.
She rolls between playing Star Wars lego and dancing around the island to the Encanto soundtrack.
Aaaaand sipping her “sickness tea” like a lady.
(Today’s “sickness tea” is brought to you by Nestle iced tea mix in hot tap water)
The moment the big kids were out the door, Wavy settled into her aforementioned activities and I got to lake stuff! I picked and folded clothes for the kids, planned meals and made a food list. I made a list of things the kids are in charge of picking out. Stuffed toys. Books. Hats. Stuff like that flexes from week to week, so thats on them.
I still need to put clothes actually into hampers and suitcases. I have to pack my own clothing. Food I’ll pack tomorrow once I have it all on hand.
Now, I’m blogging. Big duh. And hopefully I’ll have a bit of time still this morning to crochet because oh my goodness its possible I’m crocheting the most beautiful thing I’ve ever made 😳 Sooooo be ready for that! Turns out, if there is a market for luxury crochet, I want to tap it! Ack!
Ok. Back to it! I’ve got to get as much done this morning as possible so I can actually see my Cherice this afternoon for a shorty little window of time! Life gets busy but we’re making it work!! See you soup, Cher!
