Talk about flipping the switch! I wake up today to a 60 degree morning with cold, wet rain that hasn't stopped coming down for over 24 hours... summer took it's ball and went home in a hurry! The cold stark realization that the summer is over is suddenly having to wake up at 5am to go to work... it's a jarring and painful shift that takes about a month to get used to, I do not recommend it. Not even the little ones are liking the switch very much. Though my little girl seems to make the best of it as long as she has either mommy or daddy in her line of sight, then it's all ham and cheese! While I'm leaving out the crisp smell of fall air for the time being, due to the small warren of skunks that lives somewhere in the neighborhood and refuses to let a single day go by without announcing their presence, there is the promise of football, free air conditioning, sweatshirts and hockey, and this fall, the hope of a new opportunity! So despite the cold and the dark and the early mornings, I'm going into this month positive about the last leg of the year that the best is yet to come, and when all else fails... there's always Christmas! Ahhhh, Christmas!
