you know those days when it really feels like summer? one of those perfect, long summer days?

.....well my friends i had one today:) i woke up technically at about 11pm monday night.....cuz i am nocturnal and that's how i roll. i spent several hours on the computer, ordering new bra's from v. secret and reading all of your bloggy business:)



then this morning i went for a run:) it was already hot and some dumbasswonderfully smart girl thought she should wear sweat pants to get that little bit of extra sweat out......yeah i don't think i'm gonna talk to her anymore, she isn't very nice.



wheni got home, the day was dawning to be clear and beautiful, and so i decided to work on my magda look (ok not really and if you don't know who i am talking about....don't worry it isn't that funny anyway...)



i got in my swim suit and pu tmy little guy in his and pranced out the door without a care in the world also grabbed bubble refills, the bubble gun, sidewalk chalk, a book, a towel, put two bottles of water in the freezer, sun block, tan accelerator, made sure the freezer pops were stocked up and frozen and last but not least my smiling babe.



we spent hours out there, soaking up the sun, splashing in the hose, laughing and just having some really nice mommy/son time.



when we came in we showered up and lotioned up and once we smelled sufficiently sweet and clean, i made us lunch.



we set up a picnic on the living room floor since the wind outside was picking up. Yum...we had soybutter and jelly sandwiches on whole wheat bread, bbq chips and nectarines, washed down into our tummies with refreshing water:)



it was so gret to hold a conversation with my little guy and really try and get a peak into his world. he wanted to know some stories about me when i was a kid so i told him some memories and asked him some of his favorite ones.....



then when we were finished, we snuggled on the couch and this conversation ensued..



dom: mommy? i heard some people on t.v. calling their parent's parents gradmaw and grandpaw, but aren't they mommom and poppop?



me: well, yeah, it means the same thing. i know some people who call them meemaw and peepaw.



dom cracks up at that: can you call the teetaw and seesaw? ( why oh why does he make things up like that?)



me: i guess you could call them whatever you want, poopoo and peepee. i don't think they would like it very much, but i guess yo ucould if you wanted to.



dom is laughing again



me: i think it might sound kinda weird to be running around saying i love you poopoo.



dom: yeah and peepee! (still laughing)



me: they might not let you come in the house calling them that, they might make you stay out on the deck.



dom: yeah, an be shameful of what you said!



i don't know why the word shameful made me get the giggles, but we were rolling around laughing for a while.



i also was talking to him about people and why they say the things they said. he looked up at me and said" mommy, everyone's a critic huh"



it kinda hit me because he's right. everyone likes to speak their mind and say what they want, but woe is you if you dish it back to them.



anyway, it is my nephew's birthday today, he turned 6. he is a sweet kid, but i really don't get to see him often. his father ( my brother ) and his mother, they are divorced. and neither of them has custody. the maternal grandparents do, though my brother has regular bisitation with them. so anyway i got my nephew on the phone and wished him a happy birthday and told him i love him. he said two things, one was can i talk to dom?



no honey dom is sleeping.



oh ok.



are you having a good day?



man! my stomache hurts so bad!



then he got off the phone. my brother explained to me that his son had gotten into the fridge earlier and had eaten and entire block of cheese. by himself.



no wonder.



i feel bad for the toilet!



so anway, i ran, got some sun, spent a ton of time with my little guy and got some sleep, oh yeah and i read more of the kite runner.



*blissful sigh*


i hope you are all having days like that:)
