Just like every other teacher, the last few days of school are filled with dreams of carefree summer days. I actually planned projects to complete on these carefree summer days. I made the mistake of telling Chris about my plans.
He laughed.
He knows me.
My main goal was to update our photos throughout the house. He bet me a "Girls Weekend" that I wouldn't get it done.
I have taken tons of pictures this summer. I actually read the manual for our camera. I know what mode to take beach pictures (beach mode). I've organized what pictures I want and where (in my head). I officially have two days of summer left and I have not physically touched a photo or frame.
Really I had good intentions. We bought 5 large frames from IKEA (Viserum) and Chris even mounted them on the walls. The frames have been there since June. The frames are empty. That's a lie. They were empty until we went to Mexico. Our neighbors watched our dog for us.........and did a little decorating. We now have handmade portraits of our neighbors hanging in the frames. Sweet little stick figures of English, Shannon, Addison, Sally Sue, and Biscuit.
The project will get finished. Here is how it will get finished:
I will try to organize everything.
I will get frustrated.
I will feel like a failure.
I will start crying.
Chris will tell me to take a break.
Chris will finish it in less than 30 minutes (including clean up time).
So I guess Chris will earn the "Girls Weekend".
Speaking of weekend. I now have less than 30 minutes to pack the family for a camping trip. That means I have 30 minutes to organize, get frustrated, feel like a failure, start crying, and take a break.
