Well it seems with all the comings and goings of family we have finally gotten into a routine ready for school. That is after a week of adventures to round out the summer. Next year I want to go away, for some reason the one trip balances out the boredom and refreshes us in a way that is unexplained. We didn't get up to the cottage like we wanted, or out to visit more family because the timing just wasn't there, so why were we always so bored.
This is where I think I can narrow down two possibilities:
1. Weather. This year the weather has been so unpredictable it is sad. The amount of cloudy, rainy, super hot, then really not so hot days were just ridiculous. As a result planning was a little hard because summer is meant for outside and unfortunately, outside didn't cooperate.
2. No planning. Yep this is a shocker because I am normally up to my eyeballs in plans and schedules and everything. I have come to realize that this works for my family, well 3 of us anyway, and I need to keep sticking with it. If I plan something we do it, if not we are looking for spontaneous things to do, and for those who know me....yah when have I been spontaneous? I don't think my personality could handle it.
So because of these two reasons and because of who I am, I have decided that summer needs to have a plan, at least a goal for each week and stuff set up for in between so as not to create this boredom that I experienced this year.
The next couple posts are from our last week of fun when everything just kind of happened.
