Done celebrating

Yesterday was the final graduation party in this house.  Because I had all week off, and June had been insanely busy, it was the week that we cleaned EVERYTHING.  In addition to mopping floors, some furniture was moved to mop and vacuum under, woodwork was washed, windows were washed, siding was washed, the flower beds were all re-mulched, the tents were put up, chairs and coolers were borrowed, and we were ready for guests!  We were also beyond exhausted.  There had been drama with the kids during the week, there had been some late work shifts for one (and early work shifts for the other) and we were all just really, really tired.  At Catherine's party, the crowd was on the smaller side due to COVID, and everyone was outside so I didn't feel like I needed to go in and out.  Yesterday, some of the friends and family never went outside, and some never really went inside.  I felt like I didn't really get to visit with anyone.  I didn't sleep overly well last night, and today I feel as though I could've slept away the day.  We aren't as young as we used to be!  Overall though, Thomas enjoyed himself, and that is the important fact.

Back to work tomorrow.  I'm kind of looking forward to getting back into a routine, but I also plan to enjoy as much of summer as I can!
