As a working mom, my feelings on summer are mixed. I love it for many reasons: we don’t have to worry about school stuff (i.e. picking out clothes, packing lunches, forms, homework), we get to go to the beach, the weather is fab and it is the season of Rosé. Moving on to why I do not like the summer: my kids and teacher husband are home and have flex schedules while I am in my cubicle wearing a blanket and working. Oh, and having FOMO when they do fun things…that isn’t my favorite.
Even though our summer schedule is already filling up (I seriously feel like we are legit socialites sometimes with all of our parties), it is time that I create a Summer Bucket List. Normally I do not like to make bucket lists, because knowing that everything on the list needs to be completed gives me anxiety. How SAD is that?! lol. But seriously, here is my Bucket List for the summer of 2018. Let’s see what happens.
- Turn 38 (coming up on June 3. I have no control over this one)
