living it

it's true, party people
i am falling in love with summer

i've always kind of dug summer,
but never really have been crazy about it
i don't love being hot
tend to get very overheated and exhausted and grumpy

but this summer

oh this summer

i am falling in love
with the beach
and the long days
and the movie nights
and the basketball and softball games in the yard
and the staying up lates
and the drumstick ice cream cones
and the farmers markets
and the dinners on the deck
and the birthday parties outside

and the nights that you most certainly, definitely must take a shower before bed because there's no way on earth that you can place your dirty dirty body on your clean, cool sheets

life is full, and busy, and not-busy, and wonderful. there is not a single day that goes by that i don't thank my lucky stars that i get to mother these children, and live this life that i live. it's as simple as that. a big thank you to the universe when i tuck myself in at night (and an extra big thank you to my husband who works his heinie off so i can live the life i live...)


i hope wherever you are, you are living your ass off. xx
