Summer Weather!

I’m so excited for summer! I have been enjoying the great weather so much! It gives me spring fever. I find that it makes me want to get into shape, get a tan, clean my house, and the list goes on and on.

I really need to clean my house! I have really been craving organization lately. It’s almost like that nesting period I went through at the end of my pregnancy. I want everything in its place. I want to clean all the corners and cabinets. The only problem with this is that I don’t have any time to do it. My little baby girl keeps me so busy. I work five days a week as a nurse for a neurosurgeon which is a job that I love, but I don’t have much time left at the end of the day. She makes cleaning very difficult. Everything that I do, she comes behind me and makes a mess of it again. She’s just so cute that I can’t be upset with her. She is such a curious little thing. Everyday I am amazed by the new things that she is able to do. Being a mom is wonderful and it gives me so much pride.

That warm summer sun makes want to have a little color to my skin for those summer clothes. Warmer weather means more skin exposure. I am pretty pale at the beginning of the summer. I know that I shouldn’t, but I usually go to a tanning bed a couple of times at the beginning of the season. Once I get a little bit of a sun kissed glow I stop going. It is terrible for me and I should probably consider a different method of getting myself ready for summer. My health should be more important than a little bit of color.

I also become a little more aware of what I am eating. I want those summer clothes from last season to fit. Sometimes they do, and sometimes it takes me until a few months into the season before I can wear my complete wardrobe from the year before, but usually I get it done. I decided that dieting to fit into the clothes was much cheaper than buying new clothes. I don’t even really enjoy shopping that much. I would rather spend my summer doing other things. Really anything outside is better to me than shopping. I thing spending money on clothes is really a waste. I appreciate a nice outfit and when other people dress nice I would like it for myself too, but I just have a hard time letting go of the money. It seems to cost so much for nice clothes. I know there are tricks to getting good quality at good prices, but I don’t feel like I have the time necessary to devote to my wardrobe.

Well, I may not be tan enough for summer, fit enough for summer, or have a clean enough house for summer, but I am ready for it all the same.
