oh, for the love of pete....how have i been so busy!? i hate that i haven't blogged since february...REALLY????!!!!
well, it isn't for lack of material...there have been plenty of happenings in the vruggink household...and since august is upon us, i DO need the extra therapy of journaling my life...
i've already warned doug that it IS august, ya know.
he says, "sooooo...."
i say, "SO! i am working 3 of the last 4 weekends of summer, at a job i dont love, giving me less time to soak up summer....(yes, i have a job :(....more on that later) AND summer is my favorite time of the year...i did not get enough beach time (i never do), AND the kids will both be going to school, including my dodger, all day, all week....(i am one of those moms that would just as soon keep them home) AND you are home, not working and if i let myself think about it too much, i could just cry!" (yes, my self-employed hubby tore his achilles tendon clean through, requiring surgery and 10 weeks off work....more on that later too!)
not to worry...august is always hard for me....giving up the freedom of summer, sand, camping, berry picking, sleeping in, staying up late, tanned faces, ice cream runs, late nights snuggling on the couch watching baseball with the kiddos, smelling fresh cut grass, pool parties, the warmest lake michigan has been in years, no schedule....
heres to soaking up those fleeting days of summer....and i'll be playing a little catch-up on our summer, too :)
