Before I had kids, January and February were tied for being my least favorite months of the year. They were both so dreary and cold. Plus, there were barely any holidays to speak of, so days off were few and far between. They seemed to just drag on.
But now that I've had kids, August has definitely taken over as my least favorite month. The summer is winding down. The kids are over the novelty of being able to go to a park every day. They aren't as enthralled with their bikes or blowing bubbles or sidewalk chalk. But it is either too early or too late for anything else. Most VBS programs happen in June or early July. School won't start until after Labor Day. It just seems like there is nothing going on in August which means I feel like I'm going to go crazy. And the new house doesn't help. It still feels like a new house. I sort of feel like a squatter, with my card tables set up in the kitchen and boxes stacked in the living room. There is that feeling of upheaval.
So yeah, August isn't shaping up to be super great right now. But September will bring the start of preschool so it is quickly moving up in the ranks as one of my favorite months. Three cheers for September.
