Disconnected...

So it's has been an incredible summer! I have so enjoyed the kids being home, waking up when we feel like it, taking off when we feel like it, and just having the opportunity to go on a new adventure everyday! The best part of summer is still yet to come when we go on vacation to the beach!  I loovvvveeee the spontaneity of summer! With all that being said I think I have pretty much lost all communication with all friends and family members!

My sister sent me a facebook the other day that said "between you and I, I feel disconnected from you." I thought to myself and wrote back... "to be honest I feel disconnected from myself too!" Ha! I think when you have a lot of kids at home or just a lot of extra responsibility sometimes the things you love get put on hold!  I told Bubba the other night that I have lost all sense of time or placement of priorities outside the kiddos!  Truly the day doesn't stop until they go to bed! I was thinking last night about how tired I felt and how this can't be normal, but then I thought.. that's exactly what this is NORMAL, now get over it!!!!! I mean as much as I love to be on the go and do with the kids, the routine of the school year slowly starts to sound good again! Anyone agree?

BTW, the only reason I am blogging right now is because I actually took 3 kids to VBS  and got a babysitter for Izzy!!!! I JUST NEEDED TO CLEAR MY HEAD FOR A FEW MINUTES!!!! I think this is why my one and only hobby is to take pictures! I love it! For some reason it takes me to a different place and I get an opportunity to look at life from "less crazy" perspective.

I was in the car the other day and I was able to catch some pictures of the clouds (my favorite) and the sunset! IT MADE ME SO HAPPY! Simple things ya know! I have an older friend who constantly encourages me to get away by myself at least once a week (which by the way is nearly impossible). Now I get up in the morning before the kids just to have that quiet time, but I rarely get away from the house by myself to think, write or just take pictures! Having time this morning has been so nice! Whether or not this may actually happen again, I don't know? One thing I do know... I NEED IT!!!!

Happy end of the summer to all mommies! I know we all love our kiddos, in fact I really don't won't school to start, but if I don't start carving out time for myself I MIGHT LOOSE MY MIND!!!! HA!

Enjoy the pics
