It's been a while! I've been doing my best to put a dent into my summer list of things to do but it's week three and I've lost a little motivation. It's been hard starting up and getting things (like the garage clean mostly) done but I'm still trying. I started out strong in getting stuff done but then I guess the semester of no sleep and activities caught up to me and it was hard to make myself do things. I'm trying to get back the motivation.

I've been working a lot (trying to!) but am still currently broke. I just spent the last hour looking up cheap/free things to do with kids this summer since I will be watching Brooke for most of it. I decided I will give her a choice of going to a park, blowing bubbles, making friendship bracelets or coloring in a coloring book today - all of these which will be suggested as outside things since it's our first sunny day in over a week! I'm making a list of activities to keep us busy. Yesterday we had a rough day (partially my fault, partially hers) so I'm hoping today will go smoother.

I'm trying really hard to take everything one day at a time, parts of a day as they come. I know having my big list of things I want to do in the summer may be overwhelming but I'm hoping that by not having specific deadlines (other then the end of summer) they will just be pleasurable things. I'm trying to also make sure the things that need to get done are getting done.

Just trying to breathe mostly.
