An ode to summer!

🎶Summer has come and pass. The innocence can never last. Wake me up when September ends.🎶

Listen, there is a tremendous bittersweet symphony playing in my heart every time summer comes to a close. Spending time with my kids and just letting them do whatever their heart desires without the constraints of school, it's awesome, it's the best, I love it, I do, BUT. When the last week, week and a half comes and there is a giant, over-the-top, metaphorical grandfather clock ticking away the minutes until school starts back up.. well, it kinda takes control. 

The chaos that ensues those last weeks of summer vacation is full of off-the-wall bouncing, nervous pacing, frantic planning, and the ever-so-subtle guilt trip of "BUt iT'S thE LaSt wEeK oF SumMEr VaCAtiON!"

Needless to say, that first day of school is met with equal parts "awwww, the house is so quiet, I wish they didn't have to go back," and  "If you don't get in the car right now, so help me, I will put you on the hood and take you to school regardless."

ANYWAY. Hi, this is me. And I'm back on the grind. On this episode I'm talking about our summer, how it went, and what I've been doing with all my free time (spoiler: I didn't have any). So sit back, relax, and enjoy the show.
