10 things...

I love about summer are:

-going to the farmer's market and the of bounty fruits and vegetables available.

-playing in the kiddie pool or the sprinkler with the boys, and going swimming in big pools.

-going for early morning walks in the quiet with Molly (although this is a little tough now - more later).

-working in the yard after the boys have gone to sleep - mostly watering, watering, watering.

-air conditioning.

-the toads that visit our yard, and finding them in all of the shallow water bowls I have sitting around the yard.

-adventure Thursdays with the boys.

-grilling, now that I finally got brave and made a successful and delicious meal all by myself!

-sweet tea.

-air conditioning!!!!!

I hate about summer are:

-mosquitos (biting the boys; they never bite me).

-sunscreen, and having to apply it to wiggly boys who are ready to swim.

-feeling pressure to keep my toenails painted and looking pretty all the time.

-working in the yard after the boys have gone to sleep. Yes, this is under both categories. It just depends on my mood.

-having to get the all the laundry done by 2 pm so the garage won't be even more of a hotbox when Bones goes out for the night.

-sweating, sweating, and more sweating, and feeling like I need a shower sometimes two or three times a day.

-loading the kids in a boiling hot car.

-windy days that don't bring rain.

-my hair. It just stays up.

-worrying about the city running out of water. I know, it's ridiculous, but it's what I do.
