I know its not officially summer til the end of June, but everyone I know counts Memorial Day weekend as the unofficial start of summer.
I love the warmer weather, ice cream that melts if you don't eat it super quick, flowers blooming, Ben and Gabe digging under every rock to collect insects for their insect collection. I love bare feet, boats on the river, festivals every other weekend, movie nights on Magic Island, watching beautiful sunsets at 9 pm, and I love the laughter of children ( my children ) as they race all over the neighborhood playing with friends and making new discoveries.
I love the feeling of running and never wanting to stop, of smelling the honeysuckle on the vines and then teaching my kids to taste the honey. I love swimming in an outdoor pool on a really hot day, and the refreshing feeling as you dive under the water. I love the fully alive feeling of using all 5 senses to fully take in all that is summer. Mmmm
Lord help me to feel alive and enjoy the beautiful world around me and the multitude of blessings you have placed in it.

mindless ranting
okay, we have been trying to stay away from public / group situations in order to help Luke stay healthy... not really working but we are trying... We need to be around people.... we are all getting bored and restless.
My cell phone has been out of commission for the better part of 3 weeks, and my landline has been lost for about the same time ... which means little contact with others...
No babysitters offering to keep kids so dh and I can have a much needed night out
I haven't done any real grocery shopping for like a month now... due mostly to the fact that I don't want to take Luke in a store for an hour while I shop.... so we are scraping the bottom of the barrel for meals
We were doing fastfood but now the garage door is broken and I don't think its possible for me to get the door open to get the van out... so we are stuck, stuck, stuck... with no outside contact
oh and the older boys are grounded from their bikes...and its cold and rainy...
its 8pm and I have no clue why my dh is not home from work yet.. and have no way to contact him... ( he didn't respond to the email so I am assuming he is not at work) ....
I haven't gone completely crazy yet... and the kids are still alive and breathing and I haven't locked them in a room somewhere....
oh and Luke has been fussy, crying, clingy all day... I am so hoping that he is not sick, or getting sick again... he wants me to fix pancakes... I fixed them for breakfast.. and he wants them for lunch and dinner and will not eat anything else I offer.... very annoying.. he just takes my hand and pull me to the stove and points at the skillet where I made pancakes this morning.. and then throws a fit when I won't make them....And the 8 yr old wanted more pancakes too,, so he was just going to make them himself.. finally talked him out of that..
Augghh CALGON take me away....
