Things to smile about

Hi, folks.

I can’t seem to wake up lately. I feel like I’m in a fog. Maybe someone is drugging my water. I should probably stick to the safer stuff. Like Diet Coke.

Maybe I am in the “is summer still going??” phase. I remember summer being the best time of carefree, lack of rules months but being on the parent side these days, it’s become very exhausting and I still have one more month of it.

Oh boy.

We’ve been having a blast but it’s wiping me out and I need my own summer vacation!

Anyway, I thought I would join in with Emmy and do “10 Things to Smile About”. So, in no particular order, here’s what I have to smile about from the past couple months:

1. My local library! I’ve said it a million times-I would die without this place. And Goodreads.

2. Playing with Goblins.

3. Pure unadulterated family fun!

4. A burger worth the drive.

5. RUNNING AGAIN!!! (Let it be noted that running is a relative term)

6. Tank races!! A Thomas family tradition on the 4th of July.

7. Surviving the train trip from Hell.

8.  The Closer

9. Fireworks (Baby ‘plugging’ her ears while watching legal explosives)

10. A stiff drink.

Great list, see there is good stuff :). Soon summer will be over. You know your trouble might be those hard drinks :p. And I am so glad those guys actually stopped the Grau for you, so so scary.

I'm stopping by from Emmy's and love all the pix with your list. My personal fav is how "unadulterated" your little one's fun is in #3 :) Great list!

I love my library and Goodreads too! So fun. :)
I love your diet coke pic with the bottle nipple on top. That is so funny. :)

Goblin Valley is the BEST. Cool place.

Also, I love the library too. In fact, I laugh at all the morons that I can see walking into Barnes and Noble from our library doors. SUCKERS! I'm getting it for FREE!

Oh that little lily, she is so adorable. Well, I am uterus-free, that is totally something to smile about. And I have a great friend named Mindi who totally helps me out every chance she gets, she is kind of amazing :)

Omgosh, those onion straws are making me hungry! We love the closer too. Brenda cracks me up.
