Normal day, let me be aware of the treasure you are…
Let me not pass you by in quest of some rare and perfect Tomorrow.
One day I shall dig my nails into the earth,
or bury my face in my pillow,
or stretch myself taut, or raise my hands to the sky
and want, more than all the world, your return.

June

Surfacing.  Briefly...

I can not believe it's been a month since I've blogged.  It could very well be a month before I blog again.  Here are 30 great things about summer so far:

  1. Rebekah's home!
  2. Homemade cookies.
  3. Grilling!
  4. Salads--lots and lots of salads, deconstructed to make them more kid-friendly.
  5. Sleeping in.  
  6. Reading.  Reading.  Reading.
  7. Grocery shopping anytime I want.
  8. Ice cream. 
  9. Chipotle buy 1 get 1 free coupons.  Woot!
  10. New clothes that make me feel special.
  11. eSalon--not working = no salon, eSalon though not the same as salon color is pretty nice.
  12. laughter
  13. trampoline
  14. afternoons by the pool
  15. Julianna's ears pierced
  16. ponytails
  17. library
  18. ice cream
  19. picnics
  20. staying up late
  21. no schedules
  22. almost no work
  23. chore lists--it's counter-intuitive, but my kids do great and do not mind at all, if I give them a list of chores to do.  I think it's the control aspect of it, they know what to do, they choose the order they do it in, I don't have to nag and remind.  Win-win-win.
  24. Downton Abbey seasons 1 and 2
  25. Bunheads
  26. Ice cream
  27. Relaxing
  28. Sun tea, sweetened, with lemon
  29. Body butter
  30. Family
Here's hoping your summer is at least half as good as mine.

Those are WONDERFUL things about summer. Sounds like you are having a great one! Now I'm thirsty for sweet tea. :)

Sounds fabulous, and you sound content which makes me happy :) Perhaps you could send a little summer this way since I'd really like to put away our winter clothes before its time to put them on again....

Oh my gosh, you and I are equally blog-delinquent this summer! Chipotle and Downton Abbey. It doesn't get any better than that.

Go back to the part about the chore list. How do I learn this magic?
