Dina Deleasa Instagram – This for all my moms on the group text setting their alarms for one camp registration after the next. Playing Tetris with dates and time frames, while getting bombarded with programs left and right!
This is my first year really deep in it. You want to make sure your child has fun and maybe learns a little something. Your nervous that will come home hating what they signed up for. Maybe you are nervous about dropping them off somewhere new. But I feel like this was an exercise of truly looking at what’s good for my family and not making sure I’m fueled by keeping up with everyone else. Then I had to ask myself to look at my schedule and my projected workload. Where can I add in a little extra time to spend with her, how can we maybe maximize summer Fridays as a family. Or maybe it is good for her to sit “bored” for a morning while I work, instead of me packing her up and hurrying her off. I don’t want to give her the constant need to be busy or be somewhere other than home. I know that sounds old fashioned , but she’s 6. She has time to get caught up in the hustle.
Bottom line, we are all trying to do what will serve our homes and kiddos best. If that’s all day camp 5 days a week, so be it . If it’s half days crafting, that’s cool too. If it’s at hold staring at the wall, I support that in moderation, lol! When I found myself starting to look at summer as a game of survivor, that’s when I knew I had to pump the brakes. Because truly, we are going to survive, we do every year. Is it possible I can find a way to enjoy the chaos too? Check back in a couple months lol !!!
