Iced jasmine tea, tan lines, farm animals, picnic blankets, frisbees, playgrounds, grilled hotdogs, walks to the store, ice cream, runny noses, blight-ridden tomatoes yanked, hopefully non-blight-ridden tomatoes planted, random acts of gardening, dog hair, smeary sunglasses, morning waffles, afternoon cookies, a thousand tantrums, a thousand pleasantries.

How about yours?

Eldest’s fifth birthday. “I am five!” Who invited 20 preschoolers to my house? Was that me? Self, we have to talk. “Am I still five?”Yes, dear. Still five, and still high from the sugar on that fairy cake. Was that even food? I see Nana gave you another loud, battery-powered plastic toy. Your birthday’s next, Mom. Revenge will be mine. Can I have a beer now?

Ear infection, baby not eating, both kids snot producing, zoo, aviary, mini road trip, too damn many salt and vinegar chips.

Would have liked more onion rings.

Can I move into your commenter’s house who did all the knitting and re-knitting? That sounds fat and snot free.

Not so sorry to be at work, either.
