So when Matich and I stepped outside to seek relief from the sweat and heat permeating in the gym I was reminded of the coming summer months. The times when there is no relief. You sweat like crazy and expect to cool off and to no avail....its a no go. It is so hot everywhere, mostly because we dont have central air! But, I will admit for the first time I am actually excited for the summer sun. It reminds me of lazy days by the pool and hot late night runs. Summer time also reminds me of fun vacations and how badly I would love to take one. I cannot believe Matich and I went to Mexico almost two years ago. You wanna talk about sweat...we went during the rainy season. I am not so sure I would call it the "rainy" season, but more the "sauna" season. It was by far the most hot and HUMID place I have ever been. Oh the fun times in the sun, nowadays those fun times are done with sun screen. Yes, its true...I never thought I would say the words, but......I love sunscreen. It is funny how that bloody stuff takes on a whole new meaning when you start to get older.
Hope a happy and healthy summer finds you all well.
AH what a great day and a happy one for Poppy (Matich's Grandpa)!
Squeeker...... and will still, and always, scoop them up anytime, but I truly believe you best be prepared. Matich and I had dinner with our good friends the Blacks and Wolfgramms (which is always a good time) on Saturday eve and we talked a bit about the importance and maintenance of having children (can I just say our ever indebted respect goes out to all mothers). I cannot believe what an overwhelming and remarkeable job it is.....the diapers, the feeding, the restless nights, the crying, the laughing, the stress, the happiness, the worries......the list goes on..and on....and on ...and on. Not being a mom myslef, I cannot even begin to imagine the feelings. However, I have come to appreciate its importance. I commend my mom and her responsibilities for not only keeping up with her three kids, two in-laws, two grandkids......did I mention her teenage son......., ill mom, and house full of wild crazy farm animals, but all of my friends and family who have, and are, in the mitts of motherhood. What a commendable role and privelge you all have. I cannot even begin to imagine the responsibility. There is, without a doubt, something to be said about all those who take the leap into motherhood, what an important role. It is a 24 hour never ending job. I will tell you all now.........I AM IN AAAWWWHHH....... of how you work your many motherhood wonders. I cannot tell you how many times Matich and I heard the words, "Wait until you have your own, there is nothing like it," throughout this weekend excursion and how many times we said there is NO WAY........BUT, we will both admit there is something to be said about the sweet and ever so scrumpscious chubbiness of a tender, sweet smiling face throughout the day (lets be honest, our neice is a cutie!). Our hats are officially off, and although it is long past mothers day, it is importnat to remeber the ENORMOUS role and responsibiliy it means to be a mom.
