Today my Gratia is for having my babes home with me...

School is OUT and although I haven't always sang this tune, I am glad for it. For some reason last year this time I was really not excited to have the kids home all the time. My thoughts have changed and I am so thankful for it. We have fun summer stuff planned, a new house to move to (on Tuesday) and lots and lots of fun in the sun. Most of all I am excited for having them close by me for a few months.

My Gratia today is for my last day with out kids at home...

Wren is or was in kindergarten that lasted only for 2 1/2 hours every day. It wasn't much time so I took the most advantage of it as I could, and I have adored my time alone. Don't get me wrong I dearly love hanging with the kiddos but as the stay-at-home parent time by yourself is precious. Today was her last day of school for summer break. I did Yoga, went for a long bike ride and sat in the tub and read for a long long time. It was a glorious morning and will be missed. I guess when fall rolls around in no time at all my time alone will seem all the more sweeter.
