Yikes!

I looked at the post yesterday and realized I had nothing else scheduled.  I was done!  Not that I still didn't have pictures from the trip to process, I did.  But that takes time and energy and it seemed I didn't have any of that.  Left.

I am in the last days of summer vacation.  Tonight I go in for registration and tomorrow night as well.  Summer is over despite what the weather and even the calendar say.  Summer is over.

I never get all the things done in summer that I plan or hope to.  I wouldn't even begin to plan or hope to get done all the things my hubby would expect from me.  I am not what you would call ambitious. I don't get a sense of satisfaction from tasks accomplished. I do things, but I get no sense of satisfaction, I just know that they will need to be done again soon.  It is the nature of household tasks. They are do-overs and overs.

I have not had all the fun I would have liked either.  I would have gone to Atchison, KS and Princeton, IL.  I would have done a little family research at the library and I would have gone to the transportation museum and the art museum.

I did make it to daily Mass quite a few times.  I led the area wide prayer meeting and went for spiritual direction.  I had prayer group every week.  I saw family and saw to some of the increasing needs of my mother.  My sister and I have started a Google doc to share ideas about our book.

All in all it has been an average summer.  I need to remember that as the disappointment begins to creep in for the tasks I didn't accomplish and the fun that I missed.  By next week the new year will begin and I will be too busy to feel disappointed.
