Long Summer Days

Lately I've found myself online less and outdoors more. The temperature has been in the 80's, low humidity and nice sunny skies have filled my days the last few weeks. The kids schedules are a little more hectic than in the winter so I'm chauffeuring more often. My garden is taking off...finally...and our fishing hole is quite fruitful. We are truly enjoying life. Short walks around the block, visiting with neighbors, attending fairs & festivals, and admiring the sun set at 9:30pm! I am so thankful summer has FINALLY arrived. I want to enjoy as much of it as possible before the days of 20 below zero with six feet of snow arrive again. I have a hard time making myself stay behind the computer when Mister Sunshine is calling me to bask in the warm light!

I do feel guilty for not posting more often and reading more of your blogs. I so miss being "in the know" on everyone's latest recipes, crafts, deals, steals, and daily drama's. I catch myself thinking, "I'll catch up on the Might M's tomorrow" or "I'll find out what Lisa and Grace are up to on my Google Reader tonight" but tonight turns into tomorrow which turns into later in the week. I'm such a guilty procrastinator! IT'S HORRIBLE!!! When I do catch a free moment from running place to place, crafting, sewing on my MIL's quilt, cleaning the house, or bringing laundry upstairs, I find myself so darn tired I drift off to sleep!

I often wonder how all you ladies do it. You blog every day (or nearly every day) while shuffling the kids off to their activities, homes cleaned, dinner cooked, gardens (much bigger than mine) planted, crafts made, pictures taken AND uploaded (which I never can get done in a timely fashion), parties planned, all while keep up with your workout schedule. There's got to be some big secret to getting everything done...right???? Well, until I unearth the secrets of Wonder Mom, I'll just keep juggling it all the best I can. Writing when I have time in between being the family's personal shopper, chauffeur, landscaper, cheerleader, house manager, financial adviser, psychiatrist, and personal secretaries (or is assistant more PC?).

I'm all ears if any of you have a few tips to help me stay on track this summer!
