Life after summer vacation

6:30am  Wake-up call
6:45am  2nd Wake-up call
7:00am  Kick them out of bed
7:15am  Out of the shower
7:30am  Rush out the door
7:35am  Watch the school bus drive off with your kids safely on board
7:40am  Sit on the porch, coffee in hand, snuggled up in your favorite
chair taking in the crisp fall air

“SIGH.”

With summer coming to an end and the kids going back to school, it’s time for all the mommies out there to take a deep breath and let out that long awaited sigh of relief, because we all know when it’s back to school time, it’s back to “me” time.

Between, sleepover’s and baseball games, summer is jam packed fun with the family, forming memorable moments that last a life time. Yet, when all your time is spent keeping an endless inventory of excitement for the family, you sometimes find yourself last on the list. Fast forward to the first day of school and I’ve put together a list of ideas for your – first day of vacation:

1. Go pretend shopping for some exotic diamond jewelry
2. Visit the Beauty salon and check out some new hair products or consider a celebrity hairstyle
3. Experiment with makeup – Try fake eyelashes and/or fake nails
4. Invite some mom’s in the neighborhood over for a wine tasting
5. Setup up a lunch date with your girlfriends
6. Check out the local gym and let some steam out (in the Jacuzzi that is)
7. Schedule an appointment for a photofacial or micro with your friends
8. Catch a “chick flick” at your local movie theatre
9. Jump in on a Yoga class at the studio you’ve been dying to join
10. Buy a new pair of shoes for the fall season

It might be a short list, but hopefully it will spark a ton of other ideas that will jump start your vacation plans. If you can think of anymore, please feel to share them here for the rest of us to enjoy!
