The expression This too shall pass is much older than Winston Churchill.

Things happen!!! we have been experiencing the same hectic schedule for the past two weeks, work, dog to the vet, graduation ceremonies, school prize giving functions and and and!!! It must be seasonable. Just imagine if we did not have vacations????

I appreciate the sympathy and encouragement! It hadn’t occurred to me that it might be a seasonal phenomenon, but it makes sense. And Christian, I may vent, but I actually don’t mind these busy periods because I know, being a freelancer, I’ll hit dead zones too. The highs and lows make life more interesting than same old same old any day. Wouldn’t trade it for an office job! You guys hang in there too and have a great summer!

Well, its always better to be too busy than not busy enough. While I like to be busy, I also love my downtime.
Good luck with the projects!

I think your mom may have borrowed that from Sir Winston Churchill :-)

I’m in the same boat too. I think it happens in a lot of places at the “beginning of summer”. Everyone gets a little crazy that vacation time is coming soon, so they try to clear their desks. It’s alright, though. There’s an end in sight.

This sounds like the kind of craziness I’ve been going through lately! Although in my case it’s a dog, not a kid, but I am also an expat :) For now I’m just slogging through the To Do list and very much looking forward to my own vacation, which is coming up in July – it will be nice to leave Chilean winter for Californian summer. Good luck to you, and enjoy the time off!
