My thoughts on parenting, being a wife, labor and delivery nurse and whatever else comes to my mind...

Last day of school
No more lunches
No more homework
No more 6:30 am
No more "where is my gym shirt?"
No more forgotton IDs
No more "hurry up! Or you'll miss the bus!"
No more kindergarden
No more half days
No more lunches with my buddy
No more innocent 11 year olds
No more sweet sixth grade
Watching my children grow
Bittersweet
Accepting that I'm growing older
Unbelievable
Trying to hold on this time
Impossible
I love you Emily, Maia and Julia! What a wonderful year this was for you. I am so proud of your commitment to doing well in school and to being kind to others. I am proud to be your mom. XOXO

I love summer
I love summer. I love everything about it. I love the sun and the heat. I love the sound of my air conditioner running, and a really cold bedroom at night. I love to eat, drink and play outside. I love Popsicles, flip flops, citronella candles, BBQ, fire pits, grass. I love the unstructured days and the spontaneous nights. I love my vegetable garden ( which I have yet to plant) and eating something out of it every night. I love fresh air and flowers and farmers markets. I love planning birthday parties that consist of turning on the sprinkler and cutting up a watermelon. I love summer. I love NOT waking up early and NOT making lunches and NOT checking homework. I kinda love driving to work and it's still warm and light outside. I kinda like bugs, but not Mosquitos (whom I think can completely ruin a summer night). I love dollar store cheapo kids beach toys and sidewalk chalk art. I love a cold glass of white wine. I am starting to appreciate and love my birthday, which is in August. It makes me feel special and wiser and better. If I could, I would slow down time. So summer could be twice as long and twice as fun and twice as relaxing and twice as magical.
