Printed out my July, August, September Laundry page for cutting and pasting to 3x5s. I'm a little late with that, but I'll get it all recorded.
We have 2 family birthdays in July, both little people. I have one main gift purchased and several small add-on gifts. Need to call parents and ask about the other gift possibilities.
We've had 2 different sleep-over friends for nights this summer so far. One is much more difficult than the other, and I'm wondering how far my responsibility extends there. It's tempting to say "no" to visits to their house, because it's just so hard to have her over here. The other girl seems to be inspiring to dd, to accomplish things.
In general, the switch-over to summer schedule (or non-schedule) has NOT been good for discipline around here. I have no doubt it is good for me to have been getting enough sleep, but without the tyranny of the alarm clock (smile), a lot of plans are slipping. I'm sure we were really burned out before, but we all need to become self-starters now. That's easier said than done!
The drenching rains never stop. Nothing can get done outside, which should motivate us to do a lot inside, right? Somehow, it doesn't work like that! It dampens the mood indoors, too. (sorry about the pun!)
