Dining al fresco

Practically every night since we moved we've eaten outside. It's glorious. 

Sleep

Sad face. I really wanted to sleep my morning away since I'm off today,but instead, I'm awake and my kids aren't. I should do chores but I don't want to. I could get a shower and paint my nails but I don't want to do that either. I wish I had a coffee maker, I'd make some coffee and drink it slowly and read.  I'm pathetic. Sigh. 

Xxoo,

Frootie!

Therapy

Sometimes I think I need therapy.  Then I think again.  I just need:

- a maid

- a pedicure 

- more time

 Xxoo,

Frootie!

Mess after mess after mess

Moving into the new house has been trying. Things seem to come together, and then I turn around twice. 

We have ants. Ants. Icky. I'm going to call orkin tomorrow. 

My new house is amazingly beautiful. I hope I can do it justice. 

Xxoo, 

Frootie!

Camera

I need to make friends with my camera again.  Part of the reason we've grown apart is that my favorite lens is messed up.  The other thing is that, by golly, I work too danged much.  Here's the deal. I'm off a lot in July. I'm gonna take pictures. A lot of them. 

Xxoo,

Frootie!

Saturday Superday

10 things y'all

10. I can't tell you the last time I went to bed without praying that, get this, my kids don't puke. 

9. I wish I could relax. But, alas, I cannot. I'm too high strung. 

8.  I love wine, but I won't drink it 99% of the time out of fear I might do something wrong. 

7.  I'm tired. All the time

6.  I want to bake my own bread. 

5. I also want to do a serious diet with no meat, flour, or sugar. Except wine. 

4. I love my husband like a fat kid loves free cake. 

3. Swimming is my favorite summer activity. So are s'mores. 

2. Mosquitoes don't seem to have any purpose in life. Why do they exist!?!  And ants?  Why?

1.  I have a serious problem with buying nail polish. 

Xxoo, 

Frootie!

Vacation home

Who needs a vacation home when they live on Drake Lane like I do?  

I live in a tree house. 

This morning before dawn I watched the moon slide from the sky in all it's glory. 

Xxoo, 

Frootie!
