flying by

Reality hit this morning when I looked over my schedule for the next few weeks and noticed how fast summer is passing away. It seems like yesterday it seemed school would never end and now its creeping back up again. After feeding the Roth kids breakfast, helping the ac repair guy find the breaker box and watching our regular morning disney channel favs we suited up and headed out to the pool. While relaxing in the sun I was reminded of that unique feeling you can only find in summer time. Theres nothing quite like the smell of chlorine, a cold drink, the thrill of a water slide, the splashing and giggles of friends and the warmth you feel for the rest of the day when you've stayed out a little too long. After an ice cream bar from the pro shop we headed home for a much needed rest (and second visit from our ac repair friend.) There's a lot summer still has in store, time with friends, vacations, and more Friday pool trips, but the day will come when it will all come to an end. The best part is knowing that unique summer spirit will come back next year. Its fun to think about how different certain things will be and the uncertainty of whats to come. This time next year all the kids that still seem like babies to me will be so grown up, my sister will be getting ready to graduate, and best of all I will be a college grad leaving behind ETBU and Trinity and getting ready to be a first year teacher. That will all be amazing and will come in its time but this summer is going way too fast for me to dwell on that stuff now!
