Sending Kelly off to Europe for 3 weeks in 5 days and the overwhelming amount of stuff I still have to do is not motivating me yet. Why do I keep procrastinating? I do manage to do one or two things a day, but for some reason I feel like I can wait until the day she leaves before I need to pack. Maybe it's because I'm not going with her and I'm internally jealous, who knows! LOL
Anyway, she leaves on Tuesday for Italy and then travels to Austria, Germany, Switzerland and finally France. She is getting excited and a lot nervous, but I'm sure she'll have a great time.
Madison says she can't wait to have Kelly gone, but I think that will last about 1 hour and then I'll hear "I'm bored" without her playmate. She is trying to plan a trip for just the two of us to go on, but with other summer vacations already planned it may have to wait until the fall. She keeps saying she wants to go to New York City and I have no desire to visit NYC in the heat of the summer. I love New York, or more importantly my friend in NYC, and I know Madison would love seeing the big apple, but she'll appreciate it later that we are not going in the middle of July.
Hannah, of course, is just being Hannah. And for those of you who know Hannah or know of Hannah, know that she is a handful, a spitfire, a joy, and keeps me laughing all the time. She could care less that Kelly is leaving, although every once in a while she'll say she's going to miss her big sister, but not too often. She just wants to spend the summer in the pool.
As for Steven or me, well Steven is working like crazy which isn't abnormal, and I will start to prepare for my trip to Seattle in the middle of July and then come home to prepare for our annual week at the beach. The summers always start off feeling like they are going to drag on forever, especially with 3 kids at home, but all in all it will fly by.
Until next time.
