Summer

For the summer the kids and I are at the grandparents' new home.  We are living close to the lake with gorgeous views all around.  The days are sunny and hot and miraculously no one has had a serious sunburn yet!  I might add that I slather everybody with SPF 60.  The kind that is water and sweat proof.  I use the kids' brand on myself as well.  You can barely tell that I've seen any sun at all - that is an accomplishment.  The sun hates me.

I ramble.  What I am getting to is that during the summer, we are busy busy busy.  Not because of a full agenda, but because of all the time spent outside.  When we are inside, there is usually a ton of things to do as well.  All this summer fun does not, unfortunately, leave much time for oneself.  This is my first moment in about a week where I have a few minutes to myself (both kids are asleep) and I am not absolutely exhausted.  Don't get me wrong, I am tired and will definitely be off to bed as soon as this post is done.  But I am not the kind of tired I've been where I can barely stay awake until the boys go down for the night and it's givin me a moment to write.

Thus, this is a fair warning... there will not be too many posts during the summer.  There is just too much happening and my mind doesn't get a whole lot of time to think.  Maybe there will still be a post or two, but I'm not counting on it.

For now the fact that the kids are happy, healthy and super active is more than enough for me.  Yes, I am tired but I am also very happy.  Have I mentioned how much I love it here?  Except for the part where I miss the hubby.  And my own KING SIZE BED.
