The girls have not even done a camp this summer (their choice) and it still seems like we are go go go everyday. I have tried to talk them into some summer activities but they are perfectly content hanging at home and hitting the pool. Most days we work out in the morning and then we are off to the pool. I have added 1,000 steps to my routine which has been fun. Painful, but fun. Work has been sooooooooooo slow this summer, I am feeling the burn out. Thank goodness for side projects to keep me motivated.
My little G did have quite the melt down the other night. She basically went on a 35 minute monologue of all the injustices she has experienced in her 5 years. It was very entertaining and took everything I had not to laugh hysterically. It included such things as, "Mom, remember when I was two and you..." I thought to myself, "No, honey, I can hardly remember yesterday." But, I sat and listened and empathized because that is what she needed. I thought her best line of the night was, "Mom, I am not the girl that is happy when she is lonely. I am the girl that is sad when she is lonely." Another good one was, "I don't understand why my parents always use potty talk. I don't like when you say, 'G, do you need to go pee-pee?' Why can't you just ask me if I need to use the restroom?" This monologue did scare me a bit...can you imagine when she is a teenager? Holy moly, everything will be the end of the world.
Until next time...
