July 24 - Really?

Entering the last week of July. Really? Where oh where has the month gone off to? I'm really not ready for summer to be half over yet! It's like whoooosh, blink for a nano-second and a huge chunk of time has passed you by.

Haven't been in the pool since Wednesday, and that was just a quick dip to cool off from doing yard work under threatening skies. Which has been the story for several days now. I was going to go out earlier today but the sky blackened, the rain came down, and the thunder rumbled.

I hope August doesn't pass as quickly as the end of June and July has, but realistically I know better. I know it's going to fly so I'm going to savor it.

I really do wish that time would just slow the hell down you know? But it doesn't and I know this, but still it completely amazes me. Where are those long lazy summers of my youth? Remember? When the summer seemed to last for a long time?

July 18 - Fast Weekend Etc.

Monday morning is a-comin'. That sure went fast, and I did practically nothing the whole weekend except for the basic daily household chores. And that is exactly how I planned it to be. Baby sitting duties during the summer have me 'out straight' as they say.

I hate to even look at the calendar because I look today and it's mid July and I'll blink and it will be mid August. But look at it I must because I have to do something unpleasant. I have to call my orthopedist and schedule an appointment so I can get the fall surgery on my elbow scheduled. This is a contradictory event because on one hand I really want the full use of my primary arm back, but not looking forward at all to a 'big' surgery that will be mega painful, that will requite physical therapy and six months re-coup time.

On top of that I'm now going to be after school care also, and I'm worried about how this will affect that. We will see....I've only had two surgeries in my life. Tonsils and adenoids at the age of six and a pea sized benign lump removed at the age of 18. So I pretty much have zero experience with this sort of thing.

July 17 - A Busy Summer

Oh yes life is busy. The fact that we are actually having a summer this year has meant active days around here thus far into summer. Life is so busy that it is just flying by between the babysitting and housework and outside work around here. Never let it be said that I am bored, because life during the summer doesn't slow down enough for boredom to set in. Heh....I'd actually welcome some boredom.

People may think that spending the summer days with an almost six year old and a pool is a piece of cake, but let me tell you that it isn't like lounging around....kids this age are very active and there is no such thing as lounging. No...we are swimming and racing and playing games in the water, mostly underwater. Outside of the pool we are bike riding and playing baseball and catch and soccer and tennis and a host of made up games. (And apparently it's quite funny when I run for I get "Run Dahtie run" accompanied by peals of laughter.) Inside the house we are playing on the floor.

And my nurse practitioner wanted to know if I exercise. Hrrmph, maybe I'm not doing jumping jacks, but I sure as hell am not sitting still!
