Friends,

How is your summer going? We have been to the pool and went on our fun one day trip to Taos but other than that I have a to do list that is a mile long. When I school the kids during the year this stuff just doesn’t get done. Curious what’s on that list? Take a look.

This is only half of my list:

• Clean blinds downstairs and upstairs.
• Clean behind fridge.
• Clean laundry room.
• Close holes in walls and paint over it.
• Organize school books.
• Plan next school year.
• Teach our 15 year old to drive.
• Teach our 7 year old to swim.
• Teach my 9 year old to swim 25 meters.
• Potty train our 2 year old.
• Go through that pile pictured above

It is overwhelming for me just to look at. I try to do one major cleaning/organizing a week  and at least one trip to the pool. I also plan for one family outing and one meeting with friends. I wonder what I will be doing with my summers when everyone can swim and is potty trained?

This is probably why I am glad when the summer is over and we can get back to normal life.

How about you, is your list even longer? Or do you relax and enjoy a long vacation?

Have a great day,

Sofija

This is what I was doing this time last year, while my husband (bless his heart) stayed home with 4 kids and did all the cleaning.
