Summer Vacation: Month 2

As a mother of two young children who has much more to care for than two young children, my mind goes wild when I ponder what I would do with a summer vacation to myself.  I get dizzy thinking of the possibilities.

Eleven weeks!

I have list upon list in my head. Things To Do.  You know, the kind of things to do that are more fantasy than anything, the kind that I would never seriously write down.

If I had a summer vacation, on the other hand, I would write down every To-Do in the Universe and then work tirelessly for eleven weeks to accomplish.  Yes, I just said that:  If I had a summer vacation, I would work!  Call me old.

This could explain why no one will give me a summer vacation.  I wouldn't use it properly.  I wouldn't float from one semi-engaging activity to the next.  I would be fully engaged! Totally invested! Enthusiatic to squeeze every minute for the chores it's worth!

In stark contrast to my manic to-do list spewing, workaholic tendencies, here you will observe my 11 year-old sister and an example of proper use of summer vacation:

Ah, to be young and floating between activities.
