summer is no vacation

there is so much coming this fall that i need to prep for during the summer months. i think i have it in my mind that i need to do it all TODAY and i don't actually have 2 months to do it. this week has been ridiculous. between keeping up with my summer piano schedule changing every week, to planning fall/christmas for cbc worship, to my special project (more info soon i promise!), my mind is tied up in knots!

i really just want to go to the lake!
i want to go the lake and it not be 100 degrees and humid.
and i want to lay out on my blanket and read a book.
and then go to dairy king since i haven't yet been this summer. 

i would also settle for TravelBuddy's pool since i've not yet been there and we've been saying since she moved in last august that as soon as it opened we were going to be out there all the time.

sigh.
going up north for 4 days in 2 weeks. hopefully i don't work myself into a frenzy while simply trying to leave town.

enough work for today.
i am going to go bake some cookies and then sit on my couch and enjoy them with whoever might be around.

I can relate to this post in several ways. The expectation of relaxing during summer and the need to prepare for the fall are held in constant tension. It is a balancing act that I don't always do well. I have days (like yesterday - at the cottage for just the day, and to bring Grace home) that are set aside on my calendar as "relaxing" days, but I had to work so hard to make it happen, and the whole time I'm supposed to be relaxing my mind is thinking of all the stuff I need to do. I think that perhaps a week or two AWAY is what my brain needs to really jump start the rest and relaxation mode, and happily, that will be happening the end of August!!! Until then, the balancing act continues.

I'll pray for your balancing act too!
