I always think it is strange when your life can be planned out, so to speak, ahead of time with dates, events, trips, concerts, and other things so far in advance! Don't get me wrong, I like to plan things ahead of time if possible, it makes me feel calm and at peace about it becomes I can prepare, be excited, plan....but our summer is already filling up! I know that others have far more events already on their calendar. But have you ever stopped to think about how crazy it is that it is March and a few weekends in August are already taken up on your calendar? I think it is strange.
April we have a concert on the 3rd, April 18th is pancake breakfast and preschool carnival and a night up in Duluth to celebrate the kid's birthdays. May is Tom's birthday month and possible camping, June I'm planning a shower for my sister, a couple of graduation parties, and camping. July a wedding reception in Superior, WI, and August a friend from Australia is coming to visit (10 years in the making), a bachelorette party and wedding of a dear friend! And of course, my Birthday!
I guess it's not a lot, but I know there will be more activities to put down in writing. Which is why our beautiful summers seem to fly by I guess! Not only does having children make life seem to run away from us like an accelerating freight train, but then you add more "stuff" to the mix and in a flash you're 28 years old (almost), with 3 kids, a husband, a mortgage, and lots of bills to pay. And you're brain is filled with an abundance of overflowing memories that you quickly try to capture through cameras and pens.
And at the end of the day, all I really hope to have accomplished, is, "Did I make sure that I loved today?" I sure hope that I can feel good about that at the end of every crazy, busy day.
