Vacation Bound

Yesterday was hot. I'm talking 106 heat index hot. Normally I would have been miserable, but instead I was happy and comfortable in our pool. (Have I mentioned how happy I am to have a pool?)

I knew that the temperatures were going to soar, so I woke up early to get my work done. By the time everybody started to roll out of bed I had already clocked five hours. I was able to log off after lunch to play for a few hours. In the evening I finished my work while the boys were tuckered out from the heat and the pool.

I'm not a morning person, but my summer schedule is working beautifully. Of course, just as I'm starting to get back into the groove of a routine it will be disrupted. Tomorrow we are heading to Florida for a few days. It has been several years since we visited the beach, and everybody is excited for this long overdue vacation. (I will still be working, but the oceanfront scenery certainly will be an upgrade from my couch.)

While we are in Florida, my sister and her kiddos will be vacationing at our house. Between the woods, the stream and our pool, they are going to have a great time. As a bonus, I don't have to secure a cat sitter and my pool shouldn't be green when we return home. 

Our vacation begins in about 26 hours and I'm feeling overwhelmed with everything that needs to be done. After working and swimming, I will be busy packing and getting the house ready for our house guests. I am going to stock the pantry with their favorite snacks and treats. After all, I have to keep my status as World's Best Aunt!
