Kari's Kave: Where is Summer?

Ugh! I have been having computer problems on and off all morning. Sorry for the late post.

This day made me realize my summer literally doesn't start until August! My kids are all involved in lacrosse and field hockey and it never ends! We have practices and camps and tournaments....my head is spinning.

Not to mention I have edits due by the end of the week for Trouble in the Tarot, which I am making great progress on. How you ask? Well, I am trying to make the most of my time.  My oldest son has been driving my 3 boys to their lax camp from 9am to 12pm every morning. While I have been driving my darling diva to her lacrosse camp from 9am to 12pm and staying there.

No internet, no phone, no distractions...just my laptop!!!!

Priceless :-)

My oldest son graduates next year, so that means this summer is his "recruiting" summer. Which basically means we are EVERYWHERE!!! We have no life! But I love watching him play and he will be gone way too soon :-(

And I still have 3 other children involved in sports, too. Eeeek!

August is my summer! Then again, August will bring on college visits...double eek...where did the time go???

Still, I WILL find time to do it all. I cannot wait to do some fun summer activities.

In the meantime, it's so hard trying to figure out what to work on next, what to promote, what to do period...so much to do, so little time!

So tell me, what does summer mean to you? What do you do? How do you juggle it all?

I'm with you Kari. Caleb is doing football conditioning and all stars baseball practice EVERY DAY except Fri. I'm on the road constantly and I'm in edits with my developmental editor. But I have my laptop with me so I can write as I wait. What would I do without the laptop? Hang in there!

I don't juggle it. I suck at juggling. The summer is 1/3 over and my July is unbelievable with relatives for a week, a family vacation for a week, and oh yeah! I have a book coming out next week and have to promote it. Did I mention that we're selling our house, so I have to keep it nice?

Aargh! I need a writer's camp. Sounds like you nerd to go with me, Kari, although I am envious of all that writing time you're getting while diva is at camp.
