Summer days as an adult are so much different than as a child.
The things that make me happy now aren't spending all day at the pool with a whoppin $.75 to spend at the snack shack, or building a blanket fort in the hot upstairs bonus room with a fan blowing on me to keep me cool while watching Tom and Jerry cartoons.
Things that make me happy now...
~letting my girls have a movie night and when I
go to the kitchen to get popcorn and finding out
Sam is popping the last bag for her friends, but then
have her bring me a small bowl of popcorn to my room
to have while watching "Dear John".
~ giving Wyatt $20 when dropping him off at his cousins
for a few days and having him give me the whole
$20 when I pick him up.
~ trips to QT with my kids to get a soda cuz it is so stinkin hot outside.
~ having Sam drive to get me a QT soda when I don't wanna go.
~ kids weeding without complaining, except Sam because she found this lil guy when she was weeding.
I should have warned ya huh?
Unhappy now.....
~ having to buy all the summer snacks that the kids mow through in a day.
~ not wanting to get into a bathing suit.
~ never having a clean towel
~ all the QT cups sitting around the house, and yes I take blame for alot of them.
~ snack shacks that cost more than $.75

Summer is my favorite season. Love the heat, love the clothes,
love no homework and love making memories! ♥
I love the good and the bad!

what is that thing??? I wish I loved the summer. For me, summer is a countdown to cooler weather and christmas. QT soda IS pretty nice though!
The difference between being the daughter rather than the mother is the memories.
