I have to admit that I don&#8217;t mind.  I love the absence of the humidity and sweating.  <\/p>\n<p>Yet I know&#8230; summer is all about that heat and sweat.<\/p>\n<p>Right now it is cloudy and a lovely breeze is blowing in my window.  My kids are wondering why I am always hot&#8230;.  I wonder that too!<\/p>\n<p>Summer has been good&#8230; so far.  I can&#8217;t say we have done a lot of exciting things &#8230; because we have not done anything out of the ordinary.  We have been home, gone swimming a far bit (finally making use of that Y membership), played at a creek&#8230; catching crayfish, golfed at bit (not me) and hung out with friends.<\/p>\n<p>I am thinking of taking the boys camping for a few days.  I like the idea of camping but hate the set up and take down.  But I love the way the kids are occupied with nothing more than nature.<\/p>\n<p>Sammy has his first JOB.  It is a great one especially to get his feet wet in the big world of WORK.  He is a play mate to one of Jordan&#8217;s classmates while his folks work.  One day a week&#8230; and really he gets to play.  <\/p>\n<p>Tyler is eager to join too.  So&#8230; if you want a babysitter\/playmate, I got one for you!<\/p>\n<p>Are people prejudice against boy babysitters?  Not sure&#8230;  I wonder if a boy would be asked over a girl?  I never really had a boy babysitter because I didn&#8217;t know of any that were interested.<\/p>\n<p>I remember my first job was a summer babysitting job&#8230; a boy and a girl&#8230; 3 and 5 years old.  The mom was a single lady, pretty and had nice clothes.  I was intrigued by her life.  I remember seeing her stuff on the bathroom counter and  being very intrigued.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t really remember the kids too much but I do remember thinking what trust was bestowed upon me (I was probably Sammy&#8217;s age) and with them all day and few times a week.  I felt like I was playing house and loved it.<\/p>\n<p>Guess I had an early start at what was my destiny&#8230; at least part of it.<\/p>\n<p>I am still wondering what God has in store for me&#8230; the next stage.  But knowing that summer is only minus 3 months and counting&#8230; I am good with the occasion pondering.<\/p>\n<p>Do others wonder what&#8217;s next?  Or are people just riding the ride?  Maybe I am a restless spirit&#8230; Or maybe I am just looking to the lotto that isn&#8217;t really there.<\/p>\n<p>Ok&#8230; I am just having verbal diarrhea&#8230; I best get on with a day that has been calling me for a bit now!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Most people are complaining about the heat or the absence of it.
