No, it's not because Danny is coming home (although when that day gets close I will be). It's actually because of the most simple of things...down time. Yesterday was the first day in I can't remember how long that I had nothing to do after work. The kids and I could just come home and relax. Today made it two days in a row without anything to do. Nothing on my to-do list that was pressing. And you know what I did? Absolutely NOTHING. Okay, I did actually make the kids dinner and helped them with their homework...but really, I did NOTHING. I turned on the TV for maybe the second time since Danny left in January and vegged. AND I don't feel guilty about it one little itty bitty bit.
Summer is almost here and I love the way my schedule is looking empty. It will leave room for some impromptu fun with the kids. Those that know me will know that I am a scheduler by nature. It's not unheard of for me to have my calendar planned out a month ahead. I will still be scheduling out some things, but I really want to give my kids the experience of having a summer were we have some last minute fun. It's taken me a long time to enjoy last minute events and I don't want my kids to be so uptight they can't enjoy some spur of the moment adventures. Soooo, I have a bucket list for the summer, but if you have any ideas for cheap summer fun let me know!
