No, I'm not about to tell you that I won't be blogging again until September. (Wouldn't be much of a tragedy either way.) It's just, now that it's summer, it feels like we should all take some time off. The kids are off school. When's my time off? And what's with Rob going to work EVERY DAY?
I think that part of the "problem" (this isn't really a problem. I make up problems so that I have something to gripe about. Otherwise I get lonely) is that we haven't traveled anywhere lately. We took our last trips at the end of last year, and then 2011 has been ... geographically uneventful. Most summers we're trying to cram in cross-country road trips and/or family reunions. There's not much left of summer after that.
And while traveling can be hectic, one of the huge up-sides is that you don't have a normal schedule. Usually we go somewhere and our main responsibilities are to make sure that we periodically eat food (that someone else usually prepares) and that our kids don't die. Sign me up!
Also, now that I'm in school, I HAVE a schedule. And I'd like to mention that I don't like it much. I like school and all, but having a schedule has always annoyed me. Why should I have to be somewhere at the time someone else says? Why should I have to do it EVERY WEEK, whether I want to or not? (And now you know another reason why I married Rob. I was born with too few Reliability genes and Rob was born with too many. We balance each other that way.)
Fortunately, I will be taking a short trip to Seattle, which is somewhere I've never been. I'll miss one class period and then be back at it 12 hours after arriving home. I guess that'll be enough of a break.
