A Few Things I've Learned This Summer

{1} I hate running in the heat and humidity. Hate it. Within 5 minutes of running, I'm covered in sweat. The humidity is so high that it's practically impossible to breathe. I love to run, but it becomes a chore in the summer. I'm eagerly awaiting the cooler fall temperatures!

{2} I am not eagerly awaiting September. That's the start of the school year, and I'll officially have a Kindergartener. Dylan's excited, but I'm already sad about it! He is growing up too fast!

{3} Remember the snake that Grant acquired in May? We've learned to live comfortably with each other. I still don't want to hold him, and take no part in feeding him (thank God he doesn't eat live mice). But...he is kind of cute. And I have to say, he's super gentle and friendly. I will "pet" him, and I talk to him. I'm amazed at how social he is. He usually comes out of hiding to see me when I go into the room he's in. So, we like each other...from a distance!

{4} I hate to clean. Nevermind. I learned that a long time ago!

{5} When you have a large family and lots of friends, it's impossible to get anything done. We always have to be somewhere. I can't even recall the last free weekend we've had! Sadly, we don't have a free weekend in sight! And we need one. Badly. There's so much that needs done around the house!

{6} I stay up way too late. I need to get back on a "school" schedule!
