I am sunburned.
I am guessing this comes as no surprise to the girls who saw me at the pool and were kind enough to offer me sunblock.
I fear it was too little too late and I have been suffering the consequences of my inaction for the last two days.
I must admit, I have never been this sunburned in my life - nor have I ever given much credence to others who seem incapacitated by a mere sunburn.
Woe is me.
I will never doubt you fair-skinned, freckled ones in your anguish again!


The kids have been saying countless cute things.

Little A. woke up and began rubbing her eyes. She said, "Mommy, I have traffic in my eyes."

J doesn't usually do well with a major change in routine. I worried that the onset of summer would be too jolting to his system. To the contrary, he has done quite well with the lazy days which remain mostly unscheduled. That is great news to his Momma. Although there is more time for dumping thousands of tiny toys on the floor...

Our VBS through the school starts on Monday. I, being the janitor, will let you know how I feel about that in due time.

Chris and I made a tasty dinner tonight. We worked together in a tight space for a prolonged period of time without so much as a single tiff. I am beginning to think that we have run out of things to argue about after 5 years of marriage and two kids. Maybe I'll start an argument tonight so we can feel young again...

I love my family and friends.

I think it is amazing that in the whole universe, God put each one of the people who are in my life there for a reason, and I in theirs.

Sometimes I wonder what I can do to add to their lives.

My kids make me smile from the inside out. That is the best kind of happy if you ask me.
