WOW – June is half way over…. I can’t handle how fast it’s going! Every time I get done with a gallery I say to myself, ‘I need to blog this one’ and then it’s 4 days later and 6 sessions later and I still haven’t blogged. When i do have spare time I’ve been trying really really hard to enjoy this summer. My boys are swimming like crazy and while my skin is NOT intended for the sun I try to be in it as much as possible. I have to admit, I’m thoroughly enjoying all the activity – swim team, t-ball, Club Specials by the pool… I love summer, even though my house won’t cool and my freckles REFUSE to unite to give me that REAL tan… something about it still reminds me of the careless days of high school and college. Good music, worthless summer jobs, more worthless summer romances, lots of good parties and WATER, lots and lots activity surrounding water. My girlfriends and I use to get dropped off at the pool at 1:00 every day (this is after we spent and hour or so in the fridgid waters at swim team sometime around 8 am). From 1-5 we’d swim, lay out, eat Butterfingers, drool over the public school boys…. Nothing but really fun memories of flirting, swimming, Dr.Pepper, Sour Cream and Cheddar Ruffles and sleep overs. Not a WHOLE lot different now, good friends, pool, no more butterfingers, and I can’t say i’m drooling over any men at the pool but us mom’s are able to sit back enjoy our motherly figures, the new courage our kiddos have every day as they dunk their heads, jump off the diving board for hours on end and get tanner than I’d ever dream to be. As we rub sunscreen on each other’s back to prevent cancer and indulge in Club Specials at 3:00 pm I really think to myself, ‘this is the life…. i am so dang lucky’ BUT, beyond my fondness for summer is my fondness for my other love; work!
I’m sorry I can’t blog more today – I am off to a session at 9:00! But here are just a few of us…enjoying the summer
