READY.SET.GO.


I have a love hate relationship with Fall. 
 
 I hate back to school
I hate the schedule of going to bed early and waking up early
 I hate that it gets dark so early
 I hate when the irrigation  turns off and I frantically try to
 keep my grass green as my water bill goes up. 
 
I love the Fall activities on the horizon of :
pumpkin patches
apple picking
 hot cider drinking
windows open at night sleeping
 and my fav holiday - Halloween
 
 I have had a harder time adjusting to it this year for some reason. 
Summer is a party for me and I am not wanting to leave the party yet,
 I ain't ready to go home.  But slowly all the people are leaving
and I am left there pouting and wondering how time went by so fast. 
But like it or not, life and its responsibilities comes
and drags me kicking and screaming back to reality.
 
The reality of school
practices
 games
 PTA mtgs
 dance lessons
music lesson/practice
 scouts
dinner on the run
swim lessons
BLAH, BLAH, BLAH!!!
 
 Nothing that everybody else ain't got.
It's me, I am just extra whinny at the moment. 
And so it begins.......
The busy season of life that my husband reminds me
"is all self induced"!!
So the countdown to next summer begins.
 
READY. SET. GO.
