I think the warm weather has brought out some reminiscing in me. I am ready for summer vacations. Even if it is just a weekend here, a weekend there. Camping, traveling, just a change of pace, a change of scenery. I am bummed because our family reunion for this year has been cancelled because of Ric's new duty status back in Washington, but we were able to re-schedule for next year and I think it will be so fun with a 1 year old running around with all his older cousins. I will still be going to Virginia in June to see my grandson just after his birth, but the rest of the family will have to wait a little longer. Ric is hoping his family will come to California on their way to Washington. I am also anxious to see Cami- she moved in June last year, so it has been a year.
I'm so tired of spending every weekend re-arranging or cleaning up and organizing every room and closet in my house (and garage). I am ready to get down to some serious lazy days. I am looking forward to reading again, just for pleasure (no more reading every government website looking for school bus grant money!) And just hanging out with grandkids in the pool or at the river with no concerns about hurrying home to get ready for the next week at work.
Life is just too short to stress all the time. If I were a senior in high school we would call this senioriits, but what do you call it when you're a senior and it's for a lifetime? I can't wait.
My cute and funny bunny Issa. Today she is 5 years old. When I talk to or even think of Isabel, I have to smile. She is a lively little girl with lots of energy. But she is also (so I hear) enjoying being a big sister for the first time. She is the jokester of the family. She loves to tease, especially if she is bored. As a little girl she was the daredevil with no fear. But she is growing into a beautiful young girl, getting ready for kindergarten and we love her 2 pieces.
