Diary of a Confused Mom: June 27th 2015

The boys returned from a weekend away by the sea with their grandparents and aunts. They brought me handpicked sea shells and rocks. :)

Today I lay to rest some stray socks from ten years back. Then I did more yoga with baby attached.

I dropped the boys off to summer camp today and caught a glimpse of my future as the mom of a teenager.  I told the boys since it was their second day and they knew their bearings that I could leave right at drop off. After taking them to the drop off area, I started chatting with some of the other boys in their camp. A few minutes into this, O looked at me with a strange smirk and said "Um..remember how you said you can leave?"

I tried not to take it personally and waived goodbye as I walked off, wondering what the future holds for me in the dreaded teenage years.

Oh this sweet (and rare) satisfaction of hearing the boys frantically vacuuming and organizing outside just cannot be matched

Yoga just isn't quite the same when there are two boys joining you and arguing loudly about who's doing the poses correctly and a toddler on your back challenging your balance!

In true Little Z fashion, he is now referring to one of our dearest relative as "armpits." I'm actually beginning to wonder if its truly a product of his developing speech or some private joke he's amusing his overly developed sense of humor with. I'd say he's messing with us all.

There is something delightful  and refreshing about chatting freely with an old friend and then strolling into stores together - past midnight - to shop! There is beauty and freedom in cultures that may be labeled third world but are very alive in a sense that the 'developed' world may never understand.
