Summer. Such a small word that can evoke large emotions.
Ours is almost officially over. As of the 21st I will have a 2ND grader and a Kindergardner and only one left at home.
Summer use to be just a hot few months on the calendar, but now it's filled with memory making moments. Travel that you can't do when school is in, theme parks that are only open for a season, and staying up late riding bikes until the wishing star comes out.
So here we are in the last week and I am filled with a rush to cram in a few more memories, a few more summer only moments.
And yet, the excitement of a new school year is creeping in. Less sibling fighting, a bit more alone time in the evenings (due to early bed times!), and a break for an entertainment weary mom.
Am I a bad mom for looking forward to school? Ah, the mommy guilt fairy has struck again. I want to grab her little sparkly wand and beat her with it.

Nope... you're not a bad mom for thinking that. Just when those PTO ladies come a knockin'... RUN FOR YOUR LIFE! :-)
The only one who doesn't need the break from the kids is the Perfect One. Somehow He can stand us at all times. Don't feel guilty.
