The Summer Lag

First of all, I'm not promising that I'll get back to blogging everyday, because we all know where good intentions fall. I'm just going to post because I feel like it and we'll see where is goes from there.

SUMMER LAG...Do you know what summer lag is? If you aren't a teacher or a stay-at-home mom/dad, you might not. Summer lag (as defined by me, because it's my blog, take that!) is that time of summer toward the end of July, sometimes the beginning of August. It's time can usually vary depending on how busy your summer has been and how often you've looked at the calendar. Mine usually takes place after my birthday (the 15th of July, if you forgot to tell me Happy Birthday), but usually before August. It's about the time you realize the summer is over halfway over,there will be an end to these blissful days of doing nothing, and right before the Back to School items line the aisles. (Wait, who am I kidding? They started putting out Back to School stuff on July 5th.) It's that time when your brain is tired from too much TV or internet, you are starting to get a little annoyed that you never know what day it is, and your sleeping patterns are so out of whack that you are thinking that maybe, just maybe, getting back on a schedule with something productive to do could be a good thing.

But then you think, NAAAAA!! I wait all year for these days and weeks of summer. I'll try to savor every minute for the next few weeks, because we all know it will be another 10 months before this time come around again!

Oh, and just to make this post interesting, I'll add some pics.

Landed in a New World


So, life has changed. Tim has a new job working in mental health, I am teaching middle school Social Studies, Roman is in Kindergarten, and Raiden is in a GREAT child care center learning all kinds of things.

Suffice it to say that although we have moved back to Rocky Mount (well, at least for me it's back), we have definitely landed in a new world!

I promise I'll try to update more!
