Holy. Cow.

How did it get to be July?

I blinked and school was out, then my hair has been on fire for most of the summer. I have days where I feel wound tighter than a piano string because I just know there aren't enough hours in the day to get everything done.

When did summer stop being relaxing?

My major accomplishment is that I finally got my boy's room redone -- paint, window (mis)treatments, artwork, all of it. Done. That feels good. On the other hand, the house looks like a landfill in a number of areas. Everything's a trade off.

I have wanted to blog for quite some time about our vacation, potty training failures, the room re-do, my son's upcoming surgery...but I just run out of time at the end of the day and it's easier to go to bed and save the blogging for another day. Right now I'm looking at Sept. 8th...Sept. 8th looks good for blogging.

I will miss my kids when they go back to school, but I will not miss this crazy, hectic schedule.
