The Lazy Days of Summer

With summer coming to a close, I have been evaluating the past 4 months.  It has been a super weird summer and we are SO EXCITED to get back to Logan.  Who knew you could miss Logan? But we do.  Drastically.  I am the most excited to get back into a routine and be BUSY!  I have never been so bored in all my life as I have the past few months.  I know, I know- "I should find something productive to do with my time!".  Believe me, Preston has told me that everyday that I have a breakdown.  But it is a lot easier said then done.  And I have accomplish some things that I wanted to this summer-- I finally got around to painting my board for my sticker letters "Chambers Family", I have cooked many a new recipe and I have a REALLY great tan.  Yeah.  That about sums it up.  Oh and don't forget watching every movie we brought down plus most of the 99 cent movies at Blockbuster, and reading a book or 10.  I know once school starts I am going to look back at these 4 months and say "Wow, wish I would have done this" or "should have done that when I had all that free time"...  But I am the type of person that accomplishes much more when I have much more to accomplish.  I can't even get up the motivation to clean these days, but during school I somehow do it all.  I like being busy.  I like checking things off lists.  So I have come up with a plan to help me STUDY the last few weeks of summer... Fun, right?!  I have a Star Studier sticker chart!  Each day for the rest of the semester, starting now, I have to study for AT LEAST 2 hours to get a sticker.  Now I know this sounds awfully like a 5 year old motivation technique but hey it works!  I haven't quite decided what my reward will be for each week that is sticker filled... but it will be something GOOD!
