This summer I have 2 trips planned: one to Destin, FL in a couple of weeks and then one to see a friend in WY in July. I have been asked a bit about seeing said friend since she left S'port in less than ideal circumstances. I was hurt, we talked and I'm over it. End of story. I just think why throw away a friendship over a situation that essentially had nothing to do with me? Life is too short and let's face it: I don't have many friends LOL!
Two trips include flying with an almost 2 y/o two times! I am trying to prepare and read tips about the best way to go about this but I am sure in the end it will be an epic fail and I will wish I was never born. My child adorable as she is is quite difficult. I am keeping my fingers crossed though!
I am going to paint our guest bedroom this summer. I now hate the awful mustard, golden color I thought would be nice. Just one of the joys of being indecisive and A.D.D.!
Anna is going to daycare just part-time this summer and I am looking forward to spending more time with her.
The main thing I hope to accomplish this summer is just to have time for a little TLC for myself. I put everyone ahead of me. I only have myself to blame. I am so busy trying to make everyone else happy that I stretch myself too thin sometimes and don't take care of me. So this summer I am going to do some things I have been wanting to do. I am excited to take classes at the wellness center (yoga, pilates, zumba) that are offered during my normal working hours and I have thus been unable to attend. I have ordered a couple of cookbooks and am looking forward to cooking. I find cooking therapeutic but being a full-time working mother has left little time for that.
I had the wonderful opportunity to catch up with some old friends this past weekend. I had 4 best friends in high school. We were known as the Fab Five. Why? Heck if I know who gave us the nickname. Yes, there was a lot of bickering and fighting but overall we got along good. I missed that. I missed being with people who really know you and like you anyway. :) We talked about taking a girls trip sometime this summer so I am really hoping that happens!
Here is a list of my summer must-haves:
1. Sunblock - yes a tan is nice but skin cancer and advanced aging. . . not so much.
2. Sundresses & skirts - I don't wear short so this is my cool alternative that can be
dressed up or down.
3. Flip flops
4. Cute hats
5. Fruity drinks - bring on the Pina coladas!
6. Snow cones - Tim's Southern Snow, the guy is a weirdo but the snow cones are the
best in S'port! Also where else can you pick up an owner's manual for a 1993 Jeep
and some VHS's?
7. Pedi's!!!
8. A Pool - because in Louisiana it is too hot to be outside and not in one!
9. BBQ's - good friends + good food = a great summer
10. Air conditioning. :)
I hope everyone has a wonderful and safe summer!
