Sitting here in the lay down lawn chairs watching the last 3 play in the yard. Filling up the pool. Jumping on the tube in underwear and swim suits. Hazel and DJ are at YM/YW. It's been our regular crazy Tuesday with the addition of the boys swimming lessons. It's a good moment.
Earlier I cleaned the floor with a wet wipe and my foot. Chicken is cooking in the oven. New ground beef is in the crock pot. Appraisal came in much higher than anticipated. So much good today.
ABBA is playing in the window and I'm just watching and taking it all in. Jude is finally putting 2 words together, "Mom Cold" was the latest.
Gable got the slip and slide out all by himself. Bound and determined to make a water party since there is still 2 hours of light left.
Poppy with purple hair is enjoying being in charge but still young enough to have fun - swim suit up her bottom and all.
The grass is still green after an unseasonably rainy and cool start to summer. Trees are growing big an providing shade to our little side haven.
Sisters are coming into town for the reunion and we will have a few days to catch up after many long months of being apart. Cousins will reconnect and strengthen the loose bonds.
Got our 2 knee boards and the kids are thrilled to get to try and do doubles at the back of the boat. We went out 2x last week making it 7 times so far this year.
There are moments when I feel such despondency with my life. I feel like I'm not reaching my potential I see for myself or what others expect of me. Yet, there are times like now when I wouldn't change a thing. Can't miss my ship right? This is the current voyage and it's not lacking in much. I will be more grateful for the ports of entry it chooses to stop at and for the excursions it allows.
This is my song to sing and it beautiful and I sing it pretty damn well if I do say so myself...x
