"Little Bo Peep" for Macy Kate

Meet Clyde

His formal name is Clyde Mutt.

Nervous Nelly -

Commuting in the ATL is nerve racking. And now it is even more so for my sweet husband. We've started carpooling and I've started to give him gray hairs. On the way to work in mornings, I gasp and screech and grab the door handle. I give him all sorts of driving tips and he asks me to stop giving him a complex.

This morning, we nearly witnessed a silver honda get side swiped by a black honda and and the cars had to dodge each other by overtaking a turning lane. While I tried to pull the oh crap bar off of the ceiling of our car.

Ahh - the relaxing time just before you go to work, it's like boot-camp for your soul.

I can't believe it's July already. Mid summer and I've just been swimming for the first time this season. Oh how things have changed. I was such a guppy when I was much younger. I lived at the pool, swam until my little head was aching from sun and water. I would sometimes cry myself to sleep at night from utter exhaustion. I miss the freedom of summer. I have a great job and we have huge landscape widows that run across the office - but it's just a tease. To sit for so long inside should be a crime. 

Most working adults would tell me to just suck it up and accept that those summer days are gone. I refuse to be beaten with out a fight. There has to be a way to work plus enjoying the summer, I'll need time to devise my plan.
