Mama of 2 P's in a Pod

No I am not bragging on myself here, though some may argue that I should. :) Ha Ha that felt funny to type. But dang, we have had two majorly hot summers in a row. I expect some triple digit heat, but not for 30 days straight last summer and pretty close to that this summer. It makes it difficult to do some of the old fashioned summer ideas I had. In fact, there were about two weeks straight, that the girls and I became major hermits. And to be honest, that can mess with one's mind. I am so ready to be outside and playing and getting dirty and just having fun. So dear Mother Nature, could you cooperate please? Little P turns 7 this Saturday, 7!!! I can't believe it. Its less little girl and more on her way to being a big girl. Yikes! We had a family party for her last night, and by family, I mean my parents, Kris' parents and our siblings and families. Hindsight, I should've included other family, so Aunt Delores, again I'm sorry! I will get better at this, I prom...

There are things in life that are certain. The sun will rise. Children will grow. Time will slip away if you let it. Then there are the things in life that are uncertain, and inevitably, those things are people. The ones you've lowered your expectations for, surprise you and leave you breathless. The ones you've leant on, suddenly shift and you find yourself needing to provide your own support. There are the ones you've tried to give up on, but life keeps pushing them back in your direction and all you can do is smile and start again. And thankfully, there are the ones, who maybe slipped away for awhile, but who see right through you and grab on tight for the ride.
