Summer of...

I just don't know....

I have a lot of "goals" this summer.  First of all, spending time with my family!  Spending an extra week this visit since my dad has been pretty sick.  We were going to throw a road trip to Pennsylvania to visit my grandma, but Dad has been too sick...don't want to get too far away from his doctors...or be stuck in the middle of Amish country when his blood pressure hits 200/140.

Every summer I seem to get stuff done for my folks...which I totally don't mind, but I always come home a little frustrated because what I do at their house is what  Iwant to do at MY house...if I had 4 weeks off and 24/7 child care/entertainment and someone else doing the grocery shopping and cooking - my house would be sooooo organized and soooo revamped.  But I always come home to what I left...

I have had great success in getting projects done here ...but there is  never enough time...so...I am taking the girls' rag quilts that I was working on and finishing them at my mom's house...why should I bust my ass to get something done here when I am going to be looking for things to do while I am there (once I washed the entire outside of their house with a box of magic erasers)  I am also going to finish a scarf  I started crocheting and going to go wild on Pinterest and ship whatever I make back home.

I am going to try new recipes, visit old friends, go to a few low key 25 year class reunion events (yes, I am old) and maybe make some new friends and work with my children on a project called Brain Highways.

Bottom line, I am going to enjoy my parents, help them when they ask and get some things done for me and my girls.

I hope everyone has a great summer : )
