Summer Bucket List

Every, single time I am on Pinterest lately I am bombarded by cute summer bucket lists. I am ashamed to admit, I have fallen victim to past summer bucket lists. However, I am older and wiser this summer (or maybe tired and old) so our summer bucket list is easy- SURVIVE!
This summer I refuse to feel like I am not enough, that my momhood is in jeopardy if we do DO things. I will not let a list run my life especially one that will surely fail.
If that means Pop Tarts for breakfast-OK
If that means video games for hours on end-OK
If that means no showers-OK
Pajamas all day-OK
Wear your clothes to bed- OK
Turn those clothes inside out and wear them the next day-OK
Brush the jelly of your face with your toothbrush and then use it to brush your teeth-OK

Summer is not about lists- mine or another Moms. So what if I do not take a trip on Tuesdays or have any fresh fun on Friday.So what if  the only thing I will make on Mondays will be breakfast and then they are on their own.
We MIGHT think to
 go to the beach
go to the zoo
learn to knit
collect flowers
sniff flowers
press flowers
eat flowers
But--- I doubt it.

When August rolls around and all of the overachieving moms with lists are exhausted and unfulfilled, I will be smiling inside because I just had to do one thing-
SURVIVE!
