so summer is slip sliding away - we drove down to the beach yesterday - no traffic - not even a little. (not that i was hoping for traffic) but summer is disappearing as we speak - and i am sad sad sad.
it has been a nice chilled summer - packed with a bit of crazy - but we like it like that.
the house is coming along - i got to go into the addition last night for the first time, and let me tell you - my man rocks. i am overwhelmed and excited all at the same time - and just trying to keep in perspective that sleeping amongst army guys and legos and trains and dolls is just temporary...
and the beans are great. there has been camps, and swimming, and temper tantrums, and sticky -summerness, and squito bites, and ice cream treats, and beach toys and weeding unproductive gardens...and amazing weddings, and grilled delicious meals, and friends and family time...so we are marveling and soaking it all up - i am planing some exciting changes and adventures around here, and i can't wait for things to take shape and transformations to begin....
* i have also been working on letting things go - taking deep breaths and letting go the anger/grudges that we all build up - and it feels pretty good - but yesterday - somebody used a pretty harsh word to describe my little man - and it cuts deep -
now if you know my guy, you would get it if i said he was inquisitive, generous, caring, gentle, smart, serious, quirky, like a little man child, cautious, loving, kind, and spongelike....
and he is - all of those things...and so so many more.
but the way he was described to me - was "such a nerd."
the parent in me wanted to lose my mind, and while the source - well, it just wasn't worth it - but seriously, i cannot imagine using a word with such a negative connotation to it - directed at such a cool little guy, who looks up to everyone around him...and is so full of so much good stuff...so here i am - deep breathing, and letting it go - and thinking, that a little itty bitty word, can be so ugly....if anything it made me just more aware of how totally cool he is.
oh well, thats just my rant...hope you all are enjoying the last of summer...
i am off to drop the little man at camp -
peace out....
xo, a
