Our conversation went like this the other night...
K: By the time we are done with school, we wont even know what summer is anymore. Why didn't we take time off this summer and sublease our apartment and move home and go camping all the time and see our families and friends?
H: Well we had a week off, and we get one off in September? Isn't that a good summer?
K: Not the same..Im talking 2-3 months off, No work, No School, Nothing!
H: Dream on Sister! That wont exist again until we have children. Even then it wont be the same because ill be working.
K: Awesome. Growing up is Awesome.
H: Laughs his head off.
I guess you had to be there, but my husband thinks its funny that i live in a dream world sometimes. But really, what happened to those old fashioned summers? Was i spoiled by getting to spend summers dirty from fishing trips, camping with cousins, going 4-wheeling, riding horses, and playing night games until midnight with at least 20 cousins who all lived within seconds away? What happened to those days??
Im ready to be done with school. Im at a point, where i can see the finish line, but its like an illusion, its not really there. Oh September, i hope you come quick. One week is short, but it will do. I need a break!
LOL it's much harder, NOT easier to find time off after the kiddos. Things are so much easier to arrange and afford before the fact. If you do want a 2 or 3 month vacation, just do it! Plan to take a semester off, save up, and GO! NOW is the time.
ReplyDeleteI hear ya girl! My summer vacation consisted of two days this year!
