Where oh where can that little sun be, oh where oh where can he be? I am R-E-A-D-Y for it to be full fledged cook an egg on the sidewalk, get in a boiling car, socks-no-more, sunscreen necessity kinda weather.
No more rain, at least for a bit. It's time for the kiddie pool to be a permanent fixture in my yard!
But... in the meantime... in my (no so present, I will get on to that one later) free time, we have done some of this....
And LOTS of this... ( am I the only one whose child has a CONSTANT runny nose?!?!)
But mostly this month I have been cherishing, aching for, and relishing the time I have with my kids and husband. See, I have decided to put myself thru... well there is no other word for it... hell. Sparing the gory details of the matter, I am almost done with a VERY, VERY long work training. Most days I wonder if I will make it to the end. My Mom(the amazing!) has been watching them valiantly, and although my kids adore her in every which way, I know that it has been a stressing month on them, My hubby, my Mom and yours truly. As if I didn't want to squeeze the munchkins at every second before, I now hold and cuddle them till they wrangle themselves from my iron grasp and will not take another moment of my affection. And add to that the fact that the Mr. has had to step up the responsibilities at home, which he has done humbly and beautifully. (He's not doing the cleaning, but dang it, he has provided the means to have someone come in and do so!) And add the fact that I am completely neglecting my calling(fellow Presidency... my deepest and most heartfelt apologies... I promise double time soon!) The end is near. We can, we will make it. Underutilized Mom, signing off.
