The End of Another Summer....

I'm wondering where the summer went? Last thing I remember it was June and raining constantly. Floods, really green grass, snakes and gophers plagued our back yard. Now the trees leaves are turning and I don't remember the flash passing me by.

The kids have finished their first week of school and did quite well. Lots of science and math, as well as a Jr. High kid complaining of way too much English (typical).

The kids had a lot of fun the past couple of months. Camp, rafting down the Boise River, weeks at Grandma's. Me? I worked the whole summer and forgot to take time for myself (again typical).

One day I was hugging my eleven year old little boy and the next thing I knew the little monster was taller than me, his voice is deeper and he has acne. When did that happen? He's just eleven, that's not supposed to happen for a couple more years right? Both of my older boys were baptized this summer. My daughter blossomed into a semi-responsible teenager of 15 (I say semi because it still takes a crane to get her out of bed before noon).

My youngest (5) is now "officially" in school and no longer requires his five minute lap hug in the morning. Breaks my heart, but he wants to be a school kid not a baby. I can respect that. Still who's gonna give mom her five minute hugs?

Husband still doesn't have a job (but now we are forcing him to). Things are a little to tight for my comfort level so I need the cushion a job for him would provide. He's not happy with me, but I can't keep putting in 93 hours every two weeks.

Well time for my favorite season. FALL. Burning leaves, apple cider, crockpot cooking. Yep I'll be a happy camper in no time.

Take care my friends.
