Back to Reality

So now that the relatives are gone and the Leadership Summit is over I find myself almost in the middle of August wondering where the summer went. I couldn't believe it when my friend told me her girls start school a week from Monday. I feel like the past few months have flown by so quickly I'm not even sure I could adequately reflect on any particular activity or celebration. That's what I love about blogging. All I have to do is click on a few archives on the right of the screen and presto I'm right back in June and July re-living those moments. I don't even have to waste one brain cell and frankly right now I need all the memory cells I can get.


So moving forward this month will be about adjusting. Adjusting back into a routine that involves dinner before 8pm and bedtime before 10pm. We will be getting haircuts and back to school clothes and supplies. We will decide if Rhett needs any extracurricular activities and plan our Labor Day celebration. I'll be talking to friends about a kid swapping schedule and decide how I will be spending my time when Rhett is in pre-school (with Emmie in tow of coarse.) We will be squeezing in a few more summer activities like a night at the drive-in and a few more days at the beach. We will have a few family gatherings and maybe a few house organization projects before September hits.

As great as summer is fall is my favorite season. I made this soup the other day with corn muffins and it was so yummy. If this hot weather ever leaves us I'm planning on making lots of soup and bread. I think while I'm in this mood I might even look into appetizer recipes to make for Monday night football games. I don't even like sports. Hot chocolate, flannel sheets, candles and pumpkins are lurking around the corner and I can't wait.
