This is the first summer I haven’t worked since the summer I was pregnant with Monkey Girl.
And that was the first summer I hadn’t worked since I was in 8th grade.
However, this summer, I decided to just chill and spend time with the monkeys.
The result?
Our July calendar.
Not a thing scheduled.
In fact, the only thing that is really scheduled this summer is taking Monkey Girl to summer music camp, but that’s over by 9:45 every morning.
Don’t really need to write it down.
Let’s look at January, for comparison.
Can I just say how much I am enjoying this July?
We do what we want, when we want.
And, if we don’t feel like doing anything…
…we don’t.
Monkey in the Middle is having a bit of a transitional issue with this summer, as he is a schedule boy.
All about the rules.
The schedule.
Things happening a certain way.
But, even he is enjoying the fact that when he says “Wanna play a game,” I can say “Yep,” instead of, “Ooh, we gotta go in 10 minutes.”
So, when, in September, my co-workers ask what we did this summer, I’m just gonna say “we just were.”
And when they say “were what?”
I’ll say “ourselves.”
