What a day. I wish I could conjure up a fraction of the energy of any of these kids. Just watching them tires me out. I don't remember ever being that energetic, although I suppose I probably was as a kid. That was a long time ago, though. Sometimes I feel lucky if I remember what was going on last week.
It's been a very busy month with all of the birthdays. At least it's been a good time for most of it, and that's something we can all use. Now Markez is bouncing around because of his upcoming birthday and has handed us more than one long list of things he wants. It seems he gets lengthier every year with this.
It's nice to feel as relaxed as I have since school got out. I'm hoping that the fact that it was a successful school year will make it easier for both Rafiq and myself when the time comes around for him to go back. I'm going to try my damndest to be more optimistic and less anxious, but it's not easy to control. But for now, I'm just going to enjoy the summer as much as possible.
Adjusting to having Markez around so much is always quite a process. I need to stop staying up so late so I'm not so tired when he inevitably wakes us up early with his noise. Of course, when I have things to work on, I don't pay attention to the time. Amber is my clock, and sometimes I still can't pull myself away from what I'm doing. If she ends up getting a job like she's spoken of doing, it could get very interesting, especially with him being home schooled from now on. We'll cross that bridge when we come to it, though.
I think I'm going to go try and sit and relax for awhile. Markez is off wreaking havoc elsewhere at the moment, and Rafiq is up to something himself. I'm going to take advantage of the quiet while I have it, which probably won't be too long.
