"Swimming with the fishies..." Isn't really swimming, is it?


My "detox" plan for the summer is working..

All that gunk that the kids put up with  at school ...the stuff they hear that I'd rather they didn't.. the relationships they have to navigate by themselves.. peer pressure.. self concsiousness... (granted one of them only experienced the pre-school version of this... :)

We are FREE of it for still another month... and I'm LOVIN' it!

But "life lessons" never cease..  A couple have come up in the summer of 2012.

The latest was about (you may have guessed it) ...the death of our fish (that we owned for only 12 hours.)

Just as she started to fall in love....

She won her at the 4th of July Carnival.

And started making plans (for future housing)...


This is "Cookie" in her Cookie jar!

The unimaginable happened...

Dang it Cookie!



We did what we could to find closure..



And then we told the kids that goldfish only live a matter of days!

Enjoy the summer!  And may you escape any swirly life might throw at you over the next few weeks!
