You know, I usually start my summer break sick, sick, sick...cooties from my precious students combined with exhaustion make for a perfect petri dish of funk. But this year I somehow managed to earn a "get out of jail free" card and was off and out of town with nary a sniffle. It rawked!
But...skip forward about nine weeks, and I've been sick as a dawg for three days now. Officially hosting a pity party now. And I go back to work
next week! So even though I've had what has likely been my most amazing summer break ever, I'm in panic mode because there's still more I want to do!
I suppose there's a lesson in all of this, a reminder for me to focus on the fabulousness and assume that this illness is a "break" of sorts. So, here goes....
My Fabulous Summer (in no particular order)
• was in a commercial with my kid.
• saw tons of friends...from long ago and more recent.
• went out of town three times.
• was an extra in a TV show.
• painted, painted, painted...and wrote, wrote, wrote.
• renovated our kitchen (we did almost all the work).
• went on many Home Depot and Lowe's dates with my husband thanks to the renovation.
• rode my bike and daydreamed around the lake
so many times.
• hung out with all different members of my family.
• watched tons of movies.
• went through all my clothes and got rid of tons.
• did the same thing with my little guy's clothes.
• prepared tons of my work for selling online.
• sold some of my paintings.
• started some ideas for a children's picture book.
• relaxed
a lot!
OK, I feel better now...but I'd still really, really, really like to feel better by tomorrow. Girl still wants to play!
