Okay, so I'm a little late to the party

Summer is finally here for us jamas (cue angelic music). We have arrived, and I have to say that so far it's all good. What's not to like about not questioning when or if I'll be able to fit work into a busy day, and an extra set of adult hands around is definitely a plus. That's right people, papajama is officially finished teaching summer school and we're both home for a whole month.

Aaahh, the house is mostly clean, the laundry is mostly done, and the dishes are caught up...can it stay like this forever? Please?!

Papajama and I have decided that this summer is going to be different. We're actually going to continue to keep some semblance of a schedule so that I can work and so that we don't get the blobbing on the couch lazies...I know you know what I'm talking about, you know where you look up from Jerry Springer and realize it's two in the afternoon and you're still in your bath robe and you're pretty sure that that was a crust from a grilled cheese sandwich and not the remote that you just touched under the couch cushions...yeah...we're not letting that happen this summer. It's working out pretty well so far...but this is basically day one so I'll keep you updated.

Anyway, so to start off our non-blobbing summer right we got up early, showered, breakfasted, I worked and he played with babyjama, and then we took our little girl to the park. There's something extremely satisfying about watching that little girl push that little cart and to see that diaper butt swish from side to side. She has such purpose as she moves about as if it's all so important.

Oh yeah, and our garden? It's going great. The weeds are taking over a little, but we have Tons of tomatillos which I plan to make salsa with. The tomatoes, zucchini and cucumbers are blooming but not producing as of yet. I can't WAIT!

How goes your summer?

I just got back from a week-long conference and boy, it's good to be home! I swear, Little Man grew while I was gone, and Tweenie is gorgeous as ever, picking up that teenspeak quickly, too...I will be in and out of work for about two weeks, and then it's back to the ol' grind. Somebody has to make sure school's ready to open, right??? Great post, mamajama!
