Well, we are back from our VA vacation, settling into somewhat of a summer routine. I really do love summer. I don't feel the pressure of putting the kids to bed early, assisting with homework, driving to dance and piano practice and so on. The girls love going to bed late, (what kid doesn't) and I love the fact that they do wake up a bit later, including the twins. I guess they sense it's summer!
I am so glad we had a pool built. That is instant entertainment. It was worth every single penny. Once the twins are older and can swim independently, I'm going to love it even more. They literally spend hours there. But to get the little ones in is another story. Ania, (blue eyes) really stays calm, but Aila goes nuts. She wants to go! So it takes a couple of adults for all of them to be in there at the same time.
Speaking of pool, last week we had four major things break in our home within a 3 day period. Water heater had to be replaced, salt chlorinator in pool needs to be replaced, sprinkler box is dead and the compressor in one of our ac units died. Talk about a bad rut. I see it like this.... as long as my kids are healthy,
everything else we can fix. Not happy about the expenses, but we can fix it.
Keeping things real.... I am blessed.
