Rock Me
Is it just me, or are there a lot of very sexy country songs out right now? Whatever it is, I dig it. And I know there are some country music haters out there. That’s ok. I hate some of your music too, but I don’t hate you. No, not at all!
I’m going to go so far as to say my life feels a bit like a sexy country song right now too. The slowdown has occurred; the hormones are calm. I’m recentering myself, and I like what I see. I like my home, I love my husband, my children, my life. I am so blessed. And I praise my guardian angel for letting that three-wick candle burn unattended for five hours today without incident. (Another true confession!)
I think it’s also the time of year. Oh, May, how you shine! You bring the flowers, the end of the academic year, the first days of skin and sweat and the sheen of sunlight on wet, tanned shoulders… You are sexy, May, and that’s a pretty good reputation for being a month.
I’m anticipating so many things. My Lake Tweet calls me, the yard sales promise treasures and friends gather round. Indeed, this is a special time of year.
Please don’t let yourself believe my life is perfect for a moment. There’s a funky smell in the kitchen again, a rash on one of the kiddos that might pull me to finally take both myself and said kid to the doc. There is a quiet chuckle from the victorious laundry bin, for its endless weeks of leading as I bring up the rear. And we have ants. Lots of ’em.
But I’m ok with all of it. Because I married a sexy beast and we have four healthy reasons and one helluva support circle of family and friends. And we’re on the summer side of winter.
So rock me mama like a wagon wheel
Rock me mama anyway you feel
Hey mama rock me
-Bob Dylan
Well, I hope u find the funk soon!! And, I hope the rash finds its way off that said kid. And, as for the ants, if you haven’t already, try orthro house defense. I believe that’s what it’s called. We had BAD ants, but you spray that around the whole house…outside that is. Get the doors and windows really good. For the last two years we did this and no ants. Just did it for a third year, last all summer. Good luck with it all. And, happy May. Love the blog!!!
Sounds like a great beginning to a fun summer. Can’t wait to spend it with all of you.
