Today is August 31st...duh, you all know that. August 31st means that summer is coming to a close. I think everyone says the same thing on this day....Where did summer go?
To say this summer was anticipated would be quite an understatement. I knew that at the end of summer, I would get to meet my son. I remember looking at that plastic stick in December, saying "Holy Shit! I can't believe I have to wait until September!" And now September is tomorrow. I crossed off each day on my calendar like it was some sort of competition waiting for this moment, and now that it is here, I am having a hard time wrapping my head around it. Only 15 days (give or take :)) until my world changes forever.
That's some heavy stuff, wrap your dome around that one for a minute. Forreeevvver....Foreeeevvverrrr.....Foreeevvver (Think Sandlot)!
Looking back on the past 92 days, I still can't get over how fast they went. I should have never wished for time to speed up, because I am pretty sure someone hit the fast forward button, and now they have put these last couple days into slow motion.
This summer has been filled with doctor appointments, weddings, trips to the cabin, baby showers, weekends in TRF, lots of housework, swollen ankles, a whole week of vacation on the lake, aimless drives to small towns, and lots and lots of prepping for baby boy Dube. To be perfectly lame and cliche'...Summer went by way too fast.
Doesn't it always though? You wait 9 months to begin to work on your tan, and you only get 3 short months to perfect it. Than September comes and your tan fades away just like the green in the leaves on the trees. The long summer days get shorter and shorter. The nights get cooler. The air gets crisper. Before you know it summer fades into fall, the Vikings wrap up yet another losing season, and your stuck in traffic smack dab on 94E because of the 3rd blizzard to hit by December 15. You purchase a tanning package to get you through the December to March, spring hits and your watching the Twins home opener on TV. April, May..and than BLAM Memorial Weekend!! Than June comes and you have every weekend booked with things to do and people to see. Pretty soon your enjoying your last few days of summer by shoving your face full of deep fried heaven on a stick at the Minnesota State Fair.
This is my yearly dilemma. Summer you are nothing but a giant tease!
