My Summer Hall Pass

This is one of my favorite times of the year, the time when I have my summer hall pass.  Eight weeks of unpaid leave from work to play with friends and family, sleep in, do laundry and wash floors in the middle of the day on a Tuesday, and for the first time in my parenting life be home alone with my thoughts.  The girls are all off working full time.  

First let's take a minute to reflect...
 
about best friends excited to have graduated high school

or that M is off in upstate New York working (first getting trained and certified) at an elite girls summer camp, making new friends from across the oceans and building her teaching skills, all while taking in this view.  A matter of fact that lake is her office--M the water ski instructor.

Well I suppose I better churn a little more laundry and then read my book.  The life of a girl with a summer hall pass. Tough life!

Aw, gees. Can I say that I'm beyond envious, my friend? I miss those old days of being home, of hanging my laundry out and taking a bike ride in the middle of the day. Sigh.

Please enjoy it for me too, okay?

GLORIOUS summer job for M!!!

I would let you be envious except you have Loyola tuition to pay for...and I know what it costs because Alee was accepted there back in 2008. So, work on pallie! But I promise to enjoy it--just for you!

M reports it has rained every day except one in upstate NY since she landed on June 5. The sun has got shine sooner or later. Right?
