No to the fall/winter talk. I'm already torn up that we are driving home with the camper for the last time this summer right now.
The kids did so good at the game yesterday, we even did the fan fest tailgate for a little over an hour beforehand. It was pretty hot (though lol to that after seeing your 90/100s) at the beginning and took a lot out of DS in the beginning, but once it started cooling down he got right into it! And DD, lol! Who would have thunk a 1 year old would pay so much attention to an entire football game? She was hilarious keeping up with all the cheers and clapping at plays!
DS starts swimming lessons tomorrow (our local pool is only open in the summer so they go a week straight of lessons), and I just got him enrolled in gymnastics starting in September! I'm so excited, I think he'll love it!

I've been sparse. Currently headed to east side of state (cue 6-7 hrs of driving) to get pears and peaches for canning. Yesterday was beach time and family reunion (4+ hrs driving). Friday I judged a little sheep show. Tomorrow is a Farm Bureau mtg, and the big kids start VBS for the week.
Last night I picked pickling cucumbers by flashlight. In a skirt. #farmgirlproblems
Busy, busy wegrowsheep! Those must be some good pears and peaches for that drive.
That's about 3 hrs each way, and we get 400-500 lbs of fruit, for almost free. Worth it! Some is for us, some for my parents, some for brother's family.

I ended up spending a few hours at work yesterday. I've been putting off finishing my management packet for some time, but my manager announced on Friday that he is stepping down, so there will be an opening.
Today, we met up with some friends for lunch. She lives about 6 hours away, so its a bi-yearly thing.
Tonight, I'm hosting my Usborne Books & More launch party over on Facebook. I can PM the link to the party and/or the website if anyone is interested in checking things out. There will be prizes!

I haven't read the whole thread yet but wondering if any of our ladies down south are being affected by this flooding? MS and LA ladies are yall okay? I'm terrible at remembering who is from where or I'd tag people. I have some friends being boat rescued from their homes right now near baton rouge, most likely losing everything posession wise. Its crazy.

I hate complaining about this but I'm really tired of having a little human around all of the time. I realized today how much I'm craving some time at home without him. I get stuff done, but it always feels rushed or chaotic and he's making a mess at the same time I'm cleaning. I just want to puts around doing projects and cleaning. And relax too without knowing he'll wake up any minute. Just feeling drained.

carolyngrace this is exactly why I end up staying up so much later than I know I should. I'm so tired and constantly saying I'm gonna head to bed early but I can't seem to give up those few hours of "do whatever" time.
