I have completely mixed emotions about summer this year. I HATE change. In my 29 years I've always had stomach aches when it comes to change, especially unexpected change. I realize the famous song lyrics "the only thing that stays the same is everything changes" but I still don't like it. The first week of summer is always transitional. I go 100 miles an hour the whole month of May as anyone knows it's a super busy month. Then boom, zero plans, no schedules, long day of nothing. I'm 100% spouse-less in the summer too. I don't do well with idle time because I love to learn and stay busy.
I'm looking forward to:
*Teaching a fun girls enrichment class-American Girl Doll Adventures. I get to play with dolls, my favorite!
* going to the pool with some of these friends and their little ones.
* Celebrating Courtney and Laura's birthdays!
* Baby shower for baby Brody
* Trip to see my sister to shop and bake (with her baking business Monkey Bread Bakery)
* Road trippin' to Atlanta, where the players play!
* sleeping in
* hopefully getting one of these....tan, just not so Snooki-like orange!
* wearing flip flops
*being around for this little guy who will turn 3!
And a whole lot more. Here's to day 1!
