Summer is almost here ... at exactly 12:00 noon today to be exact. Most of me is thrilled not to have a rigid schedule, to be able to hang with my little people, and to embark on spontaneous adventures. I have to admit though, I'm also a bit nervous and overwhelmed trying to figure-out how I'm going to get my day-to-day chores done, work, and keep the kid's from bickering and whining to the point that I pull all of my hair out. You would think that I've never done this before!
Months back I had dreams of developing a full Pinterest-inspired summer game plan complete with chore charts, positive reinforcement plans, crafts, science projects, a summer lesson plan ... the works. Ok, I knew I wasn't going to do all of that - a girl can dream right? For the record, I have ZERO of that accomplished. I do have however, a a theme song for this summer. It's going to be my "Mom Anthem" and when I want to cry, pull my hair out, or hide under my bed I'm going to sing it loud and proud. Perhaps you've heard before in that movie called "Trolls"? I can seriously envision myself singing this with my hair all wild and with a crazed look on my face...
I mean take a look at the chorus...
I'm not giving up today
There's nothing getting in my way
And if you knock knock me over
I will get back up again
If something goes a little wrong
Well you can go ahead and bring it on
Cause if you knock knock me over, I will get back up again
Oh oh oh, get back up again
