Summer is Slipping Away

It's already July 14th. Where did the summer go? I have to be back at school in ONE MONTH. One month! Isn't that crazy? Allan said most of June was devoted to waiting for the wedding and the wedding and so that's where the summer went. It's true, I suppose, but even July is going too fast. School starts on the 18th of August, and I have to be back a couple days before then. When did school start so early?

Although I'm wondering where all the time went, I sure am enjoying it! I'm working a couple days a week down at the Y, I spend one morning (or two) each week in the garden at school making sure the weeds don't take over again, I'm organizing the house (still), and I'm doing the normal tidying and laundry. I haven't figured out how I'm going to keep up with housework once school starts, but I'll figure that out when I get there. I tackled the bathroom from hell. While I was cleaning the shower/tub, I wondered outloud to Allan how those boys ever got clean in there because it was DISGUSTING. He had no answer. And then the toilet . . . oh, goodness. It was more disgusting than the shower. I don't know how a toilet gets THAT bad, truthfully. I remarked to Allan that if I didn't clean MY toilet in three months it wouldn't have been that gross. Boys are SO gross! I mean, just because you stand up to go to the bathroom doesn't mean there should be dried urine on every possible rim of the toilet. Sorry, that was a gross thing to write. But it's TRUE!!! But the bathroom looks amazing now. All clean and sparkly and white and pretty. And it smells delightful.

I want to host an end of summer party before school starts (so it will really be a end of summer for Haylee party). A small BBQ with all you wonderful people. But a BBQ is slightly problematic since we don't have a BBQ. Hmmmm. I'll ponder some more.

That's all for now! I hope all is well for each of you!

That is disgusting. Boys are gross. How they managed to mess up the things they get messy I shall never know.

I am down for a party as always. And should said party involve Rock Band, I shall not cry.

You go cleanin' foo. (That could be taken in two ways.)

Congrats on the clean bathroom. Good luck to you on keeping up with laundry, work and house. It's a handful!

Hey, guess what!? We have a BBQ! :) E can put it in the back of his truck...

Just a thought.

I love parties! I feel as though I've been a slacker this summer...what with not planning any! Sheesh! And what ever happened to our traditional monthly game night!? Let's get on it, ladies!!! :)

I'm glad you are enjoying your "time off," and that the bathroom didn't kill you. I don't get it either. Thankfully, I married a man who is almost as clean-freakish as me... I didn't think it was possible! :)

We should do lunch sometime soon.
