I just realised that I have actually had 3 of the last 5 summers off.. I could really get used to this... maybe I need to train as a teacher. (smile) This has been such a good summer... good enough that the prospect of a new job doesn't bring the normal joy that one feels. It is kinda funny - I am looking forward to getting back to work and to be able to spend money willy nilly again, on such incidentals like food and bills, but in some ways I am really not looking forward to it.
The little darlin' is a such a fun stage right now - he's 15 months, and running all over. He loves being outside, and we have a yard large enought that I could give him a five minute head start and still not have to worry about getting him to our typically deserted dirt road.
We've been able to go on a few road trips, and to lounge around at home with friends, all of which has been a blast. In the last few weeks, I think we have had people over - you know, the "its a gorgeous day, and the pool is warm, so why don't you pop over, and heck while your here why don't you stick around for a bbq" lounging around in the sun and the pools (yes, pools, we have three of them for my little water fiend - the baby pool, the kids pool, and then our pool), doing just about nothing since there are all sorts of things in the backyard for the kids to keep themselves amused with kind of day. The one where you feel totally baked at the end of the day since you've relaxed into liquid kind of days.
And now they want me to go back to work.. sigh. I guess fall really is in the air. At least I still have a few more weeks!
