And in t-minus 8 hours I will be driving into the Bronx to start the 2014-15 school year. Instead of panicking (like I am inside for real), I am going to take a moment to reflect on how awesome my summer was.
I got to spend time with friends I love, even if it was just for a moment here and there- Jen and Amy at Stella's birthday, Amanda at Emily's birthday, Christina at Jonathan and Colin's birthday (all things now revolve around our children's birthday parties). I reunited with super old friends for a day, and learned a lot about essential oils. I spent a lot of spectacular days out on the boat, chilling out and talking to my family. I spent time with my parents. I spent time with my sisters. Amie spent 3 whole days with us. We went to the fair. I binge watched OITNB with Andy. I binge watched (rewatched) AHS seasons 1 & 2 alone. I read Hunger Games and Catching Fire and got really into them and can't wait to continue Mocking Jay. I sat on my back porch, ate barbeque there, drank some cocktails, sat on my swing, looked at the lake. I learned how to grill. I spent days at my pool. I made friends at my pool. I went to the beach on vacation with my in laws and swam in the waves. I went to Hershey Park with my in laws. I became closer than ever with my mother and father in law. I feel closer than ever to my sister and brother in law, as well as my nephew and niece since we live so close. I've cleaned my house a million trillion times, and have become slightly buddist in accepting the fact that it just gets messed up again in about 3 seconds. I've met work friends at Splashdown. I've made and stuck by difficult decisions. I've met my co-teacher at a bookstore and began planning for the school year. I've hosted many get togethers at my house for both my family and Andy's family, and loved every minute of it. My mother in law said she loves having parties at my house. I stopped doing my hair after Brigatine and haven't done it until yesterday. I dyed my hair an unimaginably gorg shade of red and blew it out just yesterday to get ready for school.
I'm ready.
Am I ready?
I'm ready.
Right?
