Summer!

So school is ending for the semester (me)/year (Julian). I'm excited yet hesitant. I love what summer brings- hot, sunny days and long carefree evenings; but I'm not living in this fantasy world. My summer will consist of watching kids that aren't mine and a plethora of stressful situations all mothers encounter. But my hopes are high, after a complete fail of previous plans. I wanted to do some summer school so I can hurry and move on and hopefully graduate at a decent date. Due to child care, that isn't possible. So plans have done a 180 and I will focus more on having fun with Julian and staying out of the house as much as possible!

Already, I have a trip planned to Indiana to visit family for a birthday party. I love being able to visit family that we don't necessarily get to see and hang out with. I want Julian's life to be filled with family as my childhood was. I think it brings out the best in people. Even though we all might not get along all the time, at least we know that we care for each other.

I want us to also visit my Great Grandma in Arkansas so she can meet her great, great grandson. I think this will be a great experience. I just hope my budget will give me some leniency.

This summer will be filled with beach, water park, park, zoo, and other places visits. I'm excited to fill this summer with happiness rather than frustration and boredom!
