You know what doesn’t take a summer vacation? Laundry.
Like tax season for an accountant, summer is the busy season for stay at home moms. We have lots of entertaining to do, meals to make, brains to stimulate, and body parts to sunscreen.
We are two days in to weekday summer. For Day 1, we showed up at the pool for morning swim practice, ready to stay indefinitely afterwards and start summer off with a splash. We were meeting friends, bringing lunch, etc. Nope – rain and chilly temps that were not even in the forecast got in the way of those plans. Bah humbug.
Today, we were less motivated to put in the effort to stay at the pool. We stayed for a bit, but there was much whining about wanting to leave. Sure, I mean – it’s been a whole DAY of summer….no wonder they are ready to throw in the towel.
Yes, I’m still itchy. In fact, the kids have taken to scratching me whenever they walk past to give me some relief. It’s a sad, sad, sight folks. Doctor appointment tomorrow, because I can’t take it anymore.
And since I’m too busy scratching to write anything else – I leave you with a terribly random photo of a giant potato truck. We saw it at our hotel this past weekend. Our son thought it was a real potato. (It was not.) The Mr. declared that you could make a lot of chips out of a potato that big. (Yes, if it were real. But it is not.)

*scratch, scratch* Hope you can find some relief… Summer is more about anticipation sometimes. Hope the weather cooperates and the attitudes align to make for fun!
My kids have 2.5 more days of school.
At first I couldn’t figure out what the weather had to do with your pool plans. Then I remembered that there are *outdoor* pools in your part of the world.
@transvestite_rabbit – the outdoor pool is a romantic idea, but not always practical when trying to plan in advance. Enjoy your last days before busy season.
@murisopsis – Thanks for the scratches.
Of course I look and feel much better today, just in time for the visit to the doctor!!
