Is It Fall?

I am sorry but I was under the assumption that it was still considered summer. What lead me to this crazy assumption would be the calender, clearly stating AUGUST. The lovely news team that wakes up bright and early to report the day, and they clearly say August, so why when I go outside do i need to bundle up, close my windows at night, and not even bring the sunscreen out? Hmmm..welcome to Maine I guess. A bit depressing, I know. But if its all the same to you, I would prefer Summer to resume and fall to pick up at the appropriately allotted times. Thank you.

Yesterday we went and finally got to see the apartment without the old tenant's filth everywhere. The landlord has begun cleaning and I handed her my paint colors and we made the agreement to meet up tonight to help clean the rest of the dirty apartment. I am sorry but since when is cleaning an option? It's a priority people. Come on. 10 years without so much as lifting a broom? Or vacuum? GROSS. Tonight, the plan is to have wine and pizza and clean! yay! I am excited but really having anxiety about ACTUALLY moving out of my parent's house, aka, MY SAFE HAVEN. My little spot in the world that automatically make me happier, or sadder if the mood strikes, the only place where I feel that I be myself 150 % and live under the safe and confirmed assumption that its been cleaned regularly in the last 10 years.

When I came home, my mom, brother, his wife, and cousin Ian (who all reside her btw) piling up wood for the long winter nights that are coming. Stacking wood always brings back memories. It makes me feel cozy and happy. I think of the woodstove burning, my mom cooking, a delicous meal and just makes me feel like HOME. I will miss that when I move. I WANT to move, I just am having the normal ugh??? what the hell am I doing???? thoughts that normal people have right before they make such a major decision, such as moving out of their beloved parents house. Although, I will be glad that when my dad starts to blow a mental fit about something, I can leave. That will be nice.

I got some pictures of Camden in the woodpile and playing with some pieces. He's adorable, I know. And some of him this morning playing leap frog. He's growing up WAY to fast! Let;s take it down a notch please :D











Notice the red strawberry stains on his p.j's from breakfast this morning! Even manages to stain through the bib!! And please take note of how the little bugger was dressed last night, CARHART OVERALLS, A SWEATER AND WOOL SOCKS. ummm, summer don't leave so fast please stay a bit longer! I'll have pictures of the apartment tommorrow.

Have a WONDERFUL WEDNESDAY!!!
