Four Weeks and Counting

So, we’re down to four weeks until school starts.  That means that in four weeks I have to start my usual routine of waking up at the God-awful time of 4:40 and falling asleep on the couch at 9:30 with little conversation between Keith and I other than, “I’m so freaking tired (snoring within minutes).”  I have to start cooking regular cold weather meals and my summer laziness will be a memory packed away nicely in the back of my mind.  When I’m cold and pale and yearning for sunshine in November I will be able to think back to this summer and remember bike rides and Marco Polo and Popsicles.  I’ll remember how great this summer was and that having no plans is sometimes the best plan of all.  I’ll remember jumping up and down when the garbage truck turned onto our street and running into the driveway to wave to the garbage guys.  I’ll remember sitting on the deck at dusk and watching the kids play football in the backyard.  I’ll remember staying awake past 9:30 and actually having meaningful conversation with my husband.  Summer is like a two-month long memory making period where the most colorful memories are made. 

With that being said, I have a crapload of work to do in the next four weeks…
