Summer Vacation?

What happened to summer vacations? You know, where you sleep late, go to the beach, generally do nothing. That definitly wasn't the case this year. Personally this has been the craziest, busiest and I guess I should say most stressful summer so far. Where do I start? I think it would be easier to say what didn't happen. :) We started off with finishing up softball season and then VBS. Then we found out there was swim lessons, so we did that. It wouldn't be summer if someone didn't get sick. So we start in on Dr. appts. and a month on antibotics to clear up Cheyenne's ear infection. Well, we were renting a house that ended up selling, so we had a couple of weeks to find a new house and move. That was crazy, because during that time Cheyenne had to get tubes in her ears and I was playing church volleyball. We moved the week of the 4th of July and we then had friends come and stay for a week our first week in the new house. Whew! Is that enough yet? I mean that was only the first month of summer vacation, but no there is more. Well, wouldn't you know it, my transmission goes out of the suburban so we are down to 1 car. No fun there. Had to get up early to take hubby to work and had more appts to go too! I was without my car for 3wks! During that time my mom had a TIA (mini-stroke) and was in the hospital and I didn't get to finish my volleyball season. I hated that because it was sooo much fun. So, we finally end the summer with my husband finally taking a week off to visit family, go to Chattanooga for 2 days and celebrating Savannah's 8th birthday and throwing her a party. Tomorrow is the 1st day of school and I'm looking forward to it! Not the early mornings and homework, but hopefully some normal days and getting to be back in a routine. I'm also looking forward to some me time.
