I Can Tell It’s Summer When…

1.  It’s 10:00, and my children are just now stumbling out of bed.  Elijah is averaging 12 hours a night!

2.  The baby sleeps until 8:00 because there’s no one knocking around in the kitchen to wake him up.  I guess that Jeff getting ready for work no longer registers!

3.  I actually have time to finish my Bible reading plus two other books…all in one day!  Granted, one was tween fiction, and I had to stay up until 11:00 p.m., but still!  This hasn’t happened since I can remember.

Of course, these past two weeks have been more a reprieve than a pattern.  Next week, sports camps start and continue through the end of the month.  Baseball for Elijah, soccer for Elijah, and then basketball for Charlotte will take us to July.  Then, we have family vacation and Tennessee week for Charlotte and Elijah.  Squeezed in there are several trips to Thailand for Jeff, church camp for both older kids, and a possible short trip to Michigan around my niece’s birthday.

We’ll see how that all goes.

As for our sickness update…Jeremy managed to pass on the virus to all of us except Jeff.  I ran a low-grade fever for six days before going to the doctor yesterday.  I was diagnosed with sinusitis and given antibiotics.  The older kids haven’t run fever since Tuesday and are feeling great today. 

This is good because we have a lake party today with our homeschool co-op to celebrate the end of the school year.  The kids would have been really bummed to miss this, especially as we have perfect weather for playing in ice-cold water:  92 degrees and humid.

However, this is not perfect running weather.  I’ve been running in the evenings here lately in an effort to stay on top of the heat and humidity.  Whew!

Ah, summer!  Hope that yours is going well!
