Snapping out of it

For the last couple of weeks I've been cranky and while I have some legitimate reasons, I also really need to knock it off. And while I think my post-pregnancy hormones getting back to normal have something to do with it, enough is enough. Almost. Before I really move on I have to say the fact that I'm losing fists full of hair like I did after actually having a baby is annoying. The fact that I'm still having some cramping seems kharmically unfair. Wait, didn't I say I was moving on?

We shipped our pooch away a week ago (on my birthday, no less) so that has been hard. Spencer has only mentioned her a couple of times but I know he misses her. We all do. The house is oddly quiet despite having a nearly three-year-old running everywhere and screaming. A lot. We've pretty much always had a dog and I know we will again it is just a hard situation where despite our best efforts to make it work, it didn't. Biting children is just not ok. Ever. She's back on the farm where she was born (no, really) and I know she'll land in a good spot that lacks delicious children snacks.

I'm really ready for summer. We've been in the pool some and starting to entertain more. One of my dearest friends will be out for a visit later this month from NY followed immediately (that afternoon) by another dear friend who is coming from Colorado. Add a visit from my mom and stepdad into the mix and we've got a June filled with some of the people I care most about in the world.

On to June. There wasn't much pleasant about May so on to June and sunshine, picking cherries and enjoying what I have -- not longing for what I don't.
