3 Days

This is the first time I've been on the computer in 3 days.

3 days.

I think that is like 3 weeks in online calendars. Because my inbox has been flooded with "Where are you?" and "You aren't posting....are y'all okay?" emails. I'm pretty sure Jim-Dad has been close to sending out a search party for me, because he becomes a bit verklempt when new reading material isn't ready and waiting for him each morning.

I wish I could tell you that I've been super busy. Or on a grand vacation. Or that my house is extremely degermed and defunktified during my unpluggedness. But...nope.

I've been around.

I just haven't been around here.

I've been taking naps. And snuggling with my boys. And playing games with friends and family. And playing front yard baseball games. And watching the Storm Chasers marathon on the Discovery Channel....which I'm not sure why I do, because it just petrifies me even more of severe weather than I already am.

And it has been great.

Because as much as I love this little box that holds so many of my friends and relationships, it is so nice to walk away from it and spend time with the people right in front of my face.

Summer is almost over, and I'm feeling it. And it is making me want to hold on to the seconds with my rascals with everything that I have. I'm not ready for the invasion of backpacks, homework, and khaki pants. I want to keep the smell of sunscreen, flip flopped feet, and lazy days of lounging on the couch around just a little bit longer.

So....if I'm a little behind on the blog reading, or I don't email like I should, or I don't post as often as I usually do....just know that we're okay.

I probably am just out in the front yard catching fly balls with Keaton. Or probably watching SpongeBob with my favorite redhead. Or probably playing SlapJack for the fourteenth time with the Tater Tot.

And I'm probably loving every second of it.
