I’m ready for summer to be over.
Normally, I try to stay present, enjoy the stage that we’re in and not rush things. But this summer has been kind of sucky. We were really, really struggling financially, after Sam’s accident. We’re so lucky that we had great health insurance and don’t have any medical bills – but the time off from work for both of us, and the reality that I had to cut my hours by 2/3 permanently was a brutal blow to our budget. Add in some massive car repairs (we ended up having to replace three tires and a broken axel on the van), and the reality that we are down to one car, plus the limitations on Sam’s diet… we didn’t DO anything really. We went to ocean once. We went to the lake a few times, but only hit the pool down the street once. We went out for frozen yogurt a few times, but we weren’t able to do the drive-in because he can’t see the screen. We didn’t do the star gazing, because he can’t see the sky. We didn’t DO a lot of things.
I’m ready for summer to be done.
I think the fall will be better. I think once we settle into a routine of girls back in public school, Sammy homeschooling, Marc working in his new office, apple picking and pumpkin pies, Jewish holidays and Halloween and Thanksgiving, – it’ll all be easier.
