Am I the only one feeling the August crunch! On one hand, there's the rush to fit in all the stuff we haven't done yet this summer (popsicles, lemonade picnic on the lawn, more splashing in the pool)---yet, on the other hand, there's the feeling of pressure to prepare for all fall has in store! Homeschooling supplies to buy, pulling out the totes for the big seasonal clothes exchange, thinking ahead, already, to what the kids are wanting for Christmas. Coupled with my upcoming trip to England---yeah, I'm feeling the stress.
Yet, I don't want to be stressed. I want to enjoy every single minute and not waste these precious times with my family. I know nothing is as big as I'm making it. Just wish I could get those head thoughts into my heart!
Hope you're all having a lovely week. The weekend is here! Let's all resolve to enjoy it---no matter what's on the schedule!
Blessings,
Sarah
Funny, I started my blog post this week talking about how I feel like we've yet to really take advantage of and enjoy our summer and yet I am surrounded by people talking about going back to school and feel like I really need to get prepared for that too! I guess that's just how August goes; for homeschooling and public school families alike! Soaking up those last summer days and preparing for school.
ReplyDeleteAww...I just love seeing pictures of your sweet family! It is such an inspiration and blessing to walk this Christian blogging journey with you. Thank you for the wonderful space to link up here and for being such an encouragement to me. God bless you and allow you to fit in everything you are hoping to this summer. :)
ReplyDeleteSarah, You are SO not the only one!! I just got back from a homeschool planning meeting where we were able to sign our kids up for co-cop classes. I knew I was going there, but yet...when it was time to sign on the dotted line.. I wanted to run away screaming!! LOL But there it is - a new year right in front of us! Hope yours is amazing!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, and thank you for hosting the link-up, too!
Yes, the crunch feeling is at my house too! I feel like I never really had a last day of school and here we go AGAIN!
