The summer of 2010 was crazy. I definitely worked too much and played too little. Instead of being refreshed, I was exhausted by the end of August. It actually took me the rest of the year to fully recuperate. That will not be happening again this year in regards to things that I have some degree of control over. Of course that does not mean that life will be all play and no work. Rather, I have noted where thing went wrong last year and I am adjusting accordingly. In fact, my family has dubbed Summer 2011 as “The Summer of Fun (with the people that we love).
When school ended last week, our family gathered in our planning spot (the bed in Reggie and my room) and we wrote down all of the things that we wanted to do over the summer. We’re not going on any major trips, since our travel budget was used up earlier this year with the cruise and the trip to Walt Disney World. That’s totally fine though, because there are so many fun (and free!) summer activities for kids in NYC.
