Survival

i spy 3 children

Oh my, has it been rough around here lately.  A willful three-year-old and a fussy almost one-year-old can really drive a mother toward the looney bin. 

Sunshine, sprinklers, and popsicles help.  Getting up at 5AM also helps.  I've been going for walks before David leaves for work at 6, and the extra energy I feel on those days makes the early mornings more than worth it.  At 5:30 in the morning it's just me and the birds; most days I don't even see a car.

Summer is good for so many, many reasons.
