What's wrong with me?
This is my first summer off. Ever.
I can NOT relax!!!
I keep getting anxious, as if I should be doing something. Like I have work the next day and I am not prepared.
Does it take some time to decompress and get into summer mode?
I feel guilty that I am not enjoying the time with my family and wasting it on anxiety attacks.
Please tell me I will relax into summer!!!!

Re: What's wrong with me?
Oh my, I absolutely had the exact same experience the first time I took the summer off. It didn't even last a week!
I think super productive people have a hard time making an adjustment, but it will come!
Plan activities everyday- I am as busy over the summer as when I am teaching.
Enjoy!!!! You will never want to work another summer again, I promise.

Re: What's wrong with me?
I have so much planned this summer.... I know it is because I can not just stop and BE. I also have a 5 year old who never had a summer off as well, so he is as much a get up and go kind of person as I am.
Thank you for making me realize I am not alone or a freak. I hope I can ease into this summer soon!!!

Re: What's wrong with me?
I'm the same way. I just channel it into the house, all of the projects I've neglected over the year (purging, organizing, home improvements) and the kids. Now that they are 5, I plan a ton of educational activities, the library reading club etc. I also have to get all of my Dad's doc appt's done.
DH always says I do more on a typical summer day than most people do any day at work
Have you signed C up for the library reading club? We go once a week.

We are going away so much I can't commit to too much when we are here!

It still takes me a week or two to really decompress and feel relaxed. You will get used to it quickly! Enjoy!
