Good-bye Summer!

Good-bye

~10:00 a.m. wake-up calls

~Going to sleep past midnight (usually us, sometimes even the kids)

~Monopoly Jr. games at 10:00 p.m. (what bedtime?)

~"What do you want to do today?"

~"Is it good beach weather today?"

~"We gotta do laundry for the next road trip..."

~Hanging out with my girls (and their kids) on a weekday afternoon

~Middle-of-the-day, middle-of-the-week art classes (for the kids)

~Middle-of-the-day, middle-of-the-week any activity (for the kids)

~Babysitting nights Every. Single. Week. (for Us)

~Wine on a Monday night

~And a Tuesday night

~Maybe a Wednesday too

~Stress-free Sunday nights

~"What day of the week is it?"

~Middle-of-the-day spontaneous gym visits

~Consistent conversations with Hubby all the time

~No need for "scheduling sex in"

~Tour de France on DVR

~Olympics on DVR

~Family Movie Night any night

~Flip flops 24/7 (what stilettos?)

~No routine, no schedule, no stress

~"Summer Liz" (the much-nicer-to-live-with version)

Perhaps I should keep that last one in mind?
