Labor Day weekend - it makes me sad to think that summer is coming to a close. Sure, I know that fall doesn't start for a couple more weeks, but Labor Day marks the closing of pools, the start of school and many other things that signal the end of summer. We had a busy weekend filled with a soccer tournament, a new floor in the dining room and plans for a picnic. The picnic was delayed and so, now that soccer is done, we are left with a quiet Monday - which is not all bad. Part of me wants to take this unplanned day and be lazy. Part of me wants to take this unplanned day and knock off somethings from my to do list. Maybe I can find a happy hybrid.
Dinner planning with our busy schedules is getting increasingly difficult - some nights we eat before, some nights after; some nights my husband cooks before I am home, some nights I cook while they are at practice and some nights, we have to have a meal that can be ready in moments because neither can prepare a meal. It seems that now, instead of one activity each evening, we have multiple. There are school meetings, practices, and games that are filling our schedule. Toss in my desire to make it to an occasional Zumba class and we are officially full!
