School starts tomorrow.
This is my happy dance this is my happy dance.
Summer 2013 has been.
Just been.
There have been pockets of pure goodness.
There have been moments in which we have pushed through with shear determination and chocolate.
When I had one tiny sweet baby girl and hours free to lay by the pool and push the stroller down to Starbucks and time to check off a project every day, I judged the people who said they couldn't wait for school to start. How could they wish away time with their kids?! Now I get it. I so so so get it. This family needs routine. And I need my village to help raise my kids, especially their teachers.
So today I'm just going to breathe in the last day of summer and say thank you.
(If I were only as witty as SJ, I would do this Jimmy Fallon style!)

thank you God for powering us through, for keeping us safe and healthy all summer long
thank you kids for sleeping til 7 am every day
thank you Ryan for letting me drive away and get groceries or coffee or fresh air when I needed it
thank you family for visiting us
thank you friends for your texts that gave me sanity at just the moment I most needed it, even though you didn't know it
thank you community pools for your chlorine baths and just plain being open
thank you neighbors for the sanity in bottles after the kids were in bed
thank you Grandmas for spending time with the kids
thank you school for starting.
