summer in october

bills. ACK! had a wee bit of a freak out last night that ended up in an ok situation but a swift kick in the ass on order in chaos.

this past year i have felt like i have been running like mad to catch up with my life. everything happened so quickly. and the order in my life that i love so much and makes me feel safe fell into a pile on the floor along with my laundry. waiting and almost begging for me to give it some attention.

i try to set boundaries like - no working on sundays. then i get a call from a nice pregnant lady explaining how sunday is the only day she can get a massage....so i bend my life to accommodate. it does not sound like a big deal but if one does this enough then they are working every day even if just for a little bit. it is not good when it takes a lot to let go and focus on hanging out with the family.

on another note we, as an entire family went hiking in the crazy hot october weather, at leslie science center. big daddy caught a snake and the monkey found two. the pond was dried up but we found bugs. it was so nice to hang out as a whole family. it is too rare. i wish i took the camera because we would have gotten some great photos of our hot ass selves. ;)

off to the lake with the kids since it is supposed to be 90 degrees today. wow!
