what most people don't know is that a.) teachers work their skinny butts off all year long (seriously, some nights the only chance Joel and I had to hang out was while eating dinner. after that we'd be grading or planning lessons till bed time!) and b.) sitting around all summer wouldn't actually be all that fun.
we've had an awesome summer so far! there have been lots of trips, a few special, in-town adventures, new meals, long chats, and peaceful evening walks. we've relaxed and talked. we've spent time with our family & our friends. but both my husband and i are getting antsy. it's actually kind of difficult to feel productive when you have so much free time. after multiple hours sitting at my computer, i feel a little useless. when i make a yummy dinner and we finish cleaning up, i think to myself, "welp, what now?" and sometimes i find myself getting irritated for no reason, other than that i don't have any direction to my days.
i'm trying very hard to make good use of my time, to relax, and to not complain. i know that most people would kill to have all the opportunities i have. and i know that after september 6th, i won't have many chances to breathe and rest.
