Teaching my children to question authority, except mine.

And the summer season begins…

May23

Weekends like this one, I miss living close to family.  I love Memorial Day picnics – just hanging out, chatting, playing some cards, drinking a beer, and grilling some hamburgers.  Up north, we are just considering breaking out the shorts this weekend.  Here in Nashville, I’ve been wearing them on and off for a few weeks already.

I am looking forward to a 3 day weekend with Steve.  But I’m not sure that we will do much.  This first official weekend of the summer season finds me battling a nasty cold.  And of course there isn’t much I can take for relief right now.  So we’ll have to see how things go – I might suck all of the fun out of our long weekend by lounging and napping.

Miss Sabrina will love having daddy home for 3 days.  She is a huge daddy’s girl.  She is doing what she can to keep my sick spirits up.  Her newest joy is spinning in circles.  She will spin until she falls down or spin and then try to run in a straight line until she falls over.  It keeps me laughing between coughing and blowing my nose.

    Hope you feel better. I remember getting really sick right about this point with Cassie and I was miserable. The no drug thing just is wrong.

    Look at that girls eyes. I would give anything she wants. That’s because she isn’t mine. People say the same thing about Reese.

    Take advantage of Daddy!!

    Golly, so sorry that you’re sick. : / I hope that you will be feeling better soon…and, so sorry that you can’t take cold meds. Ergh.

    Sorry that you’re not with your family for Memorial Day weekend. I really like Memorial weekend get togethers… Often, there’s not a lot of planning involved and they’re just thrown together, casual picnic/BBQ/potluck style. Love it!

    That photo of Sabrina is GREAT!! I love the angle and I LOVE her sweet expression and ponytail. Have a wonderful weekend! God bless.

    Hey girl,

    Number one, Beana is too cute; number two, sorry that you are sick. My sister-in-law is a nurse and she swears by warm pineapple juice (so do alot of people apparently, don’t believe me; google home remedies for colds). Try it if you dare….

    PS – I miss the Vicodin ads….

    And instead of Vicodin, now we are assumed to speak French (gosh, at least I think that’s what it is!!) … hee hee
