This summer has been one of the busiest on record--or at least it feels like it!
And the end of summer will be absolutely HECTIC.
The weeks leading up to the Fall Semester include going to Children's Camp with Psalm, teaching an interim speech class, and then road tripping to Anaheim with my family and the National Fine Arts team. In that order. (I don't know what condition I'll be in on the first day of classes that Monday after we return from Anaheim...but I'm sure it'll be INTERESTING! Ha!)
Until then, I'm teaching two days a week, coming in to the office to grade 1-2 days a week, attending church and family events on other dates and most weekends...And I've found time to go to the gym on Tuesdays and Thursdays! I hope I can keep that up during the next semester!
When I think about this summer--all of it--I can't help but be immensely grateful.
I'm spending time with my daughter every day (she voluntarily comes to class with me on Mondays and Wednesdays, and I FULLY REALIZE my time with her is limited). I'm getting to go to church camp with her! I'll get to go to Disneyland with her and ride the "Small World" ride with her, as my mother did with me 30-some-odd years ago! I love making memories with her!
She makes me supremely happy.
Right now, as I write this, I can see her swiveling in her chair, listening to something play on the computer while I wait for students to turn in their assignment for the day. I love seeing her. I suppose it's a mom thing, but I try to steal glances at her because I know she is growing up so fast, so incredibly fast, and I want to try to capture these memories so I can think back on them later...
