A day in the life, my summer lovin' life

Life flies by fast. Too fast. I think maybe fun Summers are one of the reasons why.

So I will stop, just for a second and remember this snapshot in time. Summer 2014.

Alarm goes off at 6..ish...and then keeps on going off until I can make myself sit up, around 630. My first thought every morning is "I gotta get to bed earlier".

Read Facebook to "wake me up"..til 645. At 7 am..Matt's alarm goes off...the guitar from Desperado. Then hurry get ready..hair, makeup...off we go. Pack a lunch..be out the door 730..ish. Kiss Matt goodbye, sometimes the kids are up, usually they are not.

Work is crazy..well, not too crazy, but I am always busy, never bored. I like my job because it is always a challenge, always new problems to fix. I have a great team...most of the time. I have a super awesome boss which makes the good times outweigh the bad. I usually eat lunch at my desk and snack on fruits and veggies all day.  330..time to leave.

I go pick up the kids at my moms..takes me about 30 minutes.  I love seeing my mom and dad everyday. My kids love going over there. I never worry about any of them...However I will enjoy getting that hour and a half of time away from home back. My TV watching has gone straight down the drain.

Then it is off to the dance studio. We usually grab a quick bite to eat on the way. This summer I have been doing Zumba while they are in class. It is an hour long, it kicks my butt, I am soaking wet after...but I feel awesome and have made new "dance mom" friends.

We come home, get baths taken care of, and get ready for the next day. We watch a bit of TV as a fam. Then around 10, I kiss the kids goodnight and I settle in bed, I usually get there around 11. I play my games, read a little...and am asleep no later than 12.

Sounds crazy, right?  Well, maybe I am.

10 more days until school starts. Wow.
