Summer approaches,
Bringing from hibernation
Sunshine and short sleeves.
The parents coaching
Lord of the Flies soccer teams:
Every day heroes.
Endless Ikea –
Aspirational aisles
curated with care.
Longer days begin –
with 7am sunlight
And 8pm dusk.
Dry, breezy, warm air.
This perfect summer weather
lasts only til June.
She is not too sick
To skip and sing with joy, yet…
She can’t go to school.
Sudden sheets of rain
Cacophonous and blinding
Wipes the world away.
Unrelenting rain
lifts the weight of humid air,
making mornings crisp.
Clawing our way through
Maycember activities …
Are we having fun?
Who are your every day heroes? Are you having fun right now? (It’s okay to say no.)
I’m feeling a bit of nervous energy for the end of the school year. I am SO ready to be done with lunchboxes, but also know that it can be hard to fill all the summer hours. That said, it’s is 10,000 x easier now that the kids are older. So I’m feeling good, but I’m not sure if I’d categorize it as fun?
I’m feeling the same nervous energy about summer too! i don’t have a lot planned for the two younger kids so it will indeed be a lot of time to fill. Maybe “fun” will follow?
