In exactly 10 days we'll be heading over to clear waters for some much needed R&R. Yes, the kiddos will miss school for a bit, but traveling is still a learning experience. We just completed a busy week, and an even crazier weekend, only to follow it up with an even busier week and weekend--and yet, the kids have a 4-day weekend this week. How I manage to always get myself into these situations before a vacation is beyond me? I have no luck whatsoever.
Moments like these, I try and center myself and remember that these are "nice problems" to have. I'm extremely thankful for God's blessings and allowing my family and I to still take trips despite being on one income.
Fall is here. It gets darker earlier, and even though we're going through a pretty warm spell in our neck of the woods, the crunching of leaves beneath our feet is evident. This is my FAVORITE time of the year. Amidst the chaos of new schools, new friends, new experiences, I am looking forward to holiday get togethers, family birthdays, trips to the pumpkin patch, bundling up, and snuggling with my favorite short people on the couch on rainy days with piles of books.
So, as we are still trying to "let go" of Summer, we're hoping this vacation will set us up for all the craziness we'll have to endure in the next few months.
