When you work for a school district, summers are things that you cherish. You get time off to do all the things you don't have time to do during the school year... like sleep, and read, and watch those shows you DVR all year long. It's great. It puts you in a fantastic mood and brings about what we like to call "Summer Wife" in my house (it's a term we got from a teacher friend). My husband loves summer wife. She is always in a better mood than "School Year Wife." She is more fun and wants to cook and clean much more often! This month we waved goodbye to Summer Wife. I'm not sure who is more upset about this... Hubs or me?!
I have made a promise to myself this year. As I wave goodbye to my free time and say hello to my morning alarm, I promise myself that this year "School Year Wife" will be in just as great a mood as "Summer Wife." I am going to leave work at work, and come home and RELAX with my husband. Please keep in mind that I am not a teacher. I might work for a school district, but I am not a teacher. (I have mad respect for teachers and all they have on their plates. THEY deserve to get the summers off, I am just lucky enough to have their schedule!)
So, as I wave goodbye to "Summer Wife" and make myself the promise to keep some of her fantastic traits throughout the school year, I want you all to be aware of my promise so you can hold me to it! If you're one of my friends and you see me stressing... REMIND ME of my promise that I made. REMIND ME that I should have left work at work and that I can and should be relaxing and re-energizing for the next day!
Until next time,
"School Year Wife"
