Summer is in full swing; kids are all home from school and already bored, water is constantly running in the front yard, fire pit is getting full usage, fireworks are abundant and classic hot muscle cars grace the highway on the weekends. I love summer! Love it! Everything except the spiders of course.
Right now is super busy. I have all six kids home, hubby is working at moving on to a new career and we are renovating nearly every room...still. The bathroom is nearly finished, and there isn't much left to do in the living room. The kitchen is a far cry from complete as is the master ensuite, but we've still made great progress.
My good friend came by last yesterday for a visit, our kids ran a muck, we had a few drinks and enjoyed dinner together, then she scooped up my three small girls and took them for an over-nighter. My son is spending an entire month in Calgary and left a few days ago. My eldest and my tiniest daughters are the only two kids home today. This morning is super quiet.
So quiet in fact that it has started me thinking about what is to come when September arrives. It seems to come so fast. When school resumes, five of my six will be in school. Granted the twins will only attend full days every second day, they are still mostly gone. Then it's just me and my tiniest, and she'll be busy for two hours in the afternoon just sleeping. So every second day for at least two hours I will be completely and utterly alone. Holy cow. It's a bit scary to think about.
My maternity leave is finished in September as well. Big month. I have decided that I'll need to keep busy, and I don't intend on taking up bird house making, or puzzles...so...I will be working on getting my real estate license, I think, maybe...Oh I don't know!
I want to be home with my babies, but when my babies aren't home I should be doing something productive. However, I have no intentions of going back to work any time soon. This is a conundrum. I figure that getting my real estate license will allow me to work when I want to and be home when I want to. Only one way to find out I suppose. Luckily for me there isn't currently a local agent in my town. I could be the first, the one and only local real estate agent. That would be cool. I would also like to get licensed to sell farms/acreages since that would be the bulk of sales that would happen out here. Something to think about.
In the meantime, I plan to be home with my babies all summer. I have a few plans to keep them busy both in the sun and the rain. A trip to the dollar store next week should warrant a pretty hefty haul of crafting goodies and summer time play things. We have also planned a week long trip to Calgary to see family. A seven or eight hour trip, depending on the bathroom breaks and stops to threaten to spin around and take them right bake home. This should be a ton of fun.
My sister has booked off the entire week that we are going to be home! I am so excited! We plan to see the Zoo, Heritage park, Calaway park, Riley park, Olympic Plaza, mini golf, Steven Avenue, the Tower, and the wave pool! Everything that I always had right around the corner and took entirely for granted. Now my kids get to enjoy it all with me. Awesome.
